US Crude Stocks Drop, Diesel Inventories Surge

U.S. crude oil stockpiles unexpectedly fell last week, but diesel inventories surged as fuel demand remains impaired due to the coronavirus pandemic, the Energy Information Administration said on Wednesday.

Most U.S. states have eased restrictions on movements to halt the spread of COVID-19, but activity is picking up slowly. Crude stockpiles have dropped, but consumption is not keeping up with refining production, boosting inventories.

Crude inventories dropped 2.1 million barrels for the week to May 29 to 532.3 million barrels

, compared with analysts’ expectations in a Reuters poll for a 3 million-barrel rise.

Gasoline supply rose by 2.8 million barrels

. Traders were looking for a decline of 300,000 barrels.

Distillate stockpiles, which include diesel and heating oil, rose by 9.9 million barrels to 174.3 million barrels, versus expectations for a 2.7 million-barrel build. Overall, demand for diesel and similar fuels is down 13% from a year-ago period over the last four weeks.

The main trend is up according to the daily swing chart. A trade through $38.18 will signal a resumption of the uptrend. A trade through $31.14 will change the main trend to down.

Additionally, the price gap at $37.64 to $41.88 is another potential upside target.
