U.S. Crude Oil Inventories

Latest Release

Jan 15, 2025

Actual

-1.962M

Forecast

-3.500M

-0.959M

The Energy Information Administration's (EIA) Crude Oil Inventories measures the weekly change in the number of barrels of commercial crude oil held by US firms. The level of inventories influences the price of petroleum products, which can have an impact on inflation.

If the increase in crude inventories is more than expected, it implies weaker demand and is bearish for crude prices. The same can be said if a decline in inventories is less than expected.
If the increase in crude is less than expected, it implies greater demand and is bullish for crude prices. The same can be said if a decline in inventories is more than expected.

Oil or any other instruments will trap the buyers and kick the seller in long term doesnt matter what data or report comes they need 90%traders to lose the money every market or asset work like that globally take from most and give to few remaining save for themselves this all is the form of modern gambling whatever the name given it. Anyways put sl on 62.5 in case of american ressesion otherwise buy more and hold for 75 to 76 not 78 or 88

Understanding Market efficiency is important while analysing data Lets assume inventory data is strong positive but crude prices are already corrected as traders are assuming or forecasting strong positive data in that case on inventory day price will not impact even if there is strong positive data

Crude Oil price will play crucial role in bringing down inflation in coming days. With rising number of COVID cases and demand for EVs, demand for crude oil may fall in near future.

Crude oil is trading just under 200 days EMA which can act as resistance. Waiting for US crude data on April 5. Expect crude oil price to be below 80 USD to 75.5 - 76.5 range in 2-3 days.

BNR NAMAKKAL If crude oil inventories increase weekly, it indicates that demand for oil is falling short of supply. If the oil inventories data shows a decline in oil inventories, it indicates that demand is surpassing supply.
