Gasoline invenrtories rose 8.44mm barrels (following last week’s 10.6mm record build) is the biggest 2-week inventory build in history. Crude has crashed back from overenight “China is buying oil” demand hopes.

  • *DISTILLATE INVENTORIES ROSE 6.14 MLN BARRELS, EIA SAYS
  • *CRUDE OIL INVENTORIES ROSE 234,000 BARRELS, EIA SAYS
  • This is the biggest 2-week gasoline inventory build in history

    Worse still:

  • *CUSHING CRUDE INVENTORIES REACH RECORD HIGH OF 64M BBL
  • And crude is reacting how it should…
