Oil: private survey of inventory shows a larger headline crude oil draw than expected

Very slow to come out today this data point. Twitter has it now.

Via twitter:

Expectations I had seen centred on:

  • Headline crude -1 mn barrels
  • Distillates +1 mn bbls
  • Gasoline +0.6 mn

This data point is from a privately-conducted survey by the American Petroleum Institute (API).

  • It’s a survey of oil storage facilities and companies
  • The official report is due Wednesday morning US time.

The two reports are quite different.The official government data comes from the US Energy Information Administration (EIA)

  • Its based on data from the Department of Energy and other government agencies
  • Whereas information on total crude oil storage levels and variations from the previous week’s levels are both provided by the API report, the EIA report also provides statistics on inputs and outputs from refineries, as well as other significant indicators of the status of the oil market, and storage levels for various grades of crude oil, such as light, medium, and heavy.
  • the EIA report is held to be more accurate and comprehensive than the survey from the API

Trump and Xi to talk on Friday? That’s the latest chatter.

The latest scuttlebutt is that Trump and Xi will talk on Friday – thats from unnamed sources.

Meanwhile, via Politico (a US politics site):

  • “The president is obsessed with having a call with Xi,” said one person familiar with the trade talks, convinced he can personally hash out deep-seated divisions between the world’s two largest economies mano a mano with Xi.

Yeah, that’s garbage. The way it’ll go is that Trump will talk with Xi when something has already been agreed to and then he’ll take credit.

That’s the way it works. Its not rocket science.
