US Crude and Gasoline Inventories Sink as SPR Draws Down

API data show US crude inventories dropped 2.8 million barrels in the week ending May 22 (after a 9.1 million-barrel decline the prior week), with the SPR at 365.1 million barrels—the lowest level since April 2024. U.S. production slipped to about 13.702 million bpd; Brent and WTI were trading lower (around $95.46 and $89.66, respectively). Gasoline inventories fell by about 3.2 million barrels, distillates rose 1.1 million, and Cushing storage fell roughly 2.875 million barrels. Overall, inventories remain below five-year averages for gasoline and distillates amid an ongoing supply imbalance.

"Oil Speculators React to Saudi Price Cut, Triggering Bearish Market Sentiment"

Money managers made one of their biggest bearish shifts on oil prices in years around the start of 2024, with speculators adding about 61,000 combined short positions in Brent and West Texas Intermediate crude in the week to Jan. 2, marking the most significant increase since March and the second-largest since 2017. This surge in bearish bets suggests a potential downward pressure on oil prices, with slower demand growth cited as a contributing factor.

"OPEC Output Cut: Oil Plummets, Selling Persists - What's Next?"

Despite OPEC+ announcing an extension to their production cuts, crude oil prices fell instead of rising. The counterintuitive move has left many wondering why. The group, which includes OPEC and other producers like Russia, formalized the voluntary cuts by Saudi Arabia and implemented additional output reductions. However, around three hours after the announcement, oil prices dropped. The reasons behind this unexpected decline remain unclear, and it is uncertain whether the bearish move will continue.

Geopolitical tensions drive oil prices higher amidst Middle East conflict

Oil prices jumped over 2% as fighting intensified in the Middle East, with the Israeli army expanding its ground operations in Gaza. Concerns of a broader conflict grew after the US struck Iran-backed facilities in Syria, with Iran's involvement being a key focus for the crude market. Despite the rise, oil was still down around 3% for the week due to demand concerns and indications that the fighting could stay contained.

Oil Prices Surge on Massive Inventory Draw and Tightening Market Signals.

Crude oil prices rose after the US Energy Information Administration reported a 12.5 million barrel drop in inventories in the week to 19 May. The American Petroleum Institute had estimated a 6.7 million barrel increase in crude oil inventories, which surprised traders and prompted increased oil buying that boosted prices. At 455.2 million barrels, US crude oil inventories are 3% below the five-year seasonal average.

Oil's Future Uncertain as Prices Fluctuate and Banks Play a Role

Oil's Future Uncertain as Prices Fluctuate and Banks Play a Role

Crude oil has broken lower and is trading at levels not seen since the end of 2021 due to the banking problems in the US and Europe with Credit Suisse. The $61.50 level is the next logical support for WTI futures, which held three times on retracements in 2021. The breakeven level for quite a few shale wells and fields is around there too, making it relevant again should we get there. However, whether we do or not, and more importantly what happens if we do, is probably dependent on factors outside of oil.
