Crude Oil Stocks Build,\u00a0 Less than Expectations<\/strong><\/div>\n
The DOE reported Total Crude Oil Inventories increased by 3.2 million barrels to 426.0 million barrels for the week ending October 26, 2018, while expectations average was for a 3.6 million barrel increase. The range of expectations was from a 2.0 million barrel draw to a 11.2 million barrel build.<\/div>\n
Overall hydrocarbon supplies decreased by 6.4 million barrels to 1,249 million barrels.<\/div>\n
Crude Oil Production increased by 300,000 barrels per day to a new record 11.2 million barrels per day.<\/div>\n
Total Crude Imports were down by 300,000 barrels per day to 7.3 million barrels per day.<\/div>\n
Total Refinery Crude Runs were up 100,000 barrels per day to 16.42 million barrels per day.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

This report was actually bullish for crude oil prices and the\u00a0 market initially rallied.\u00a0 An hour later prices peaked then reversed and ended the day down over $1 a barrel.\u00a0 With the continuing \u00a0increased volatility in the market we would recommend to be on the sidelines.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Gasoline Stocks Draw, Greater than Expectations<\/strong>.<\/div>\n
Total MotorGasoline Inventories decreased by 3.2 million barrels to 226.2 million barrels for the week ending October 26, 2018, while expectations average was for a 2.3 million barrel decrease. The range of expectations was from a 3.5 million barrel draw to a 1.0 million barrel draw.<\/div>\n
Implied Demand was up by 110,000 barrels per day to 11.2 million barrels per day.<\/div>\n
Gasoline Production was up by 340,000 barrels per day to 10.36 million barrels per day.<\/div>\n
Despite the decrease in stocks Gasoline prices dropped and ended the day down by more than $2 a barrel. Market sentiment remains bearish to prices so we recommend consideration of short positions, especially in the cracks.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

Distillates Stocks Draw, Greater than Expectations.<\/strong><\/div>\n
Total Distillates Stocks decreased by 4.1 million barrels to 126.3 million barrels for the week ending October 26, 2018, while expectations average was for a 1..9 million barrel draw. The range of expectations was from a 3.1 million barrel draw to a 1.0 million barrel draw..<\/div>\n
Total Distillates Production was up 20,000 barrels per day to 4.98 million barrels per day.<\/div>\n
Total Distillates Implied Demand was up 260,00 barrels per day at 5.70 million barrels per day.<\/div>\n
Heating Oil price behavior followed Crude Oil after the DOE data release. However, Heating Oil ended the trading day down only 40 cents. Crude Oil was down over a $1 so the Heating Oil to Crude Oil Crack Spread increased by over 60 cents. We maintain our suggestion of consideration of long positions in the Heating Oil Cracks.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
