Oil Wobbles After API Reports Crude, Gasoline Build
The American Petroleum Institute (API) reported a build in crude oil inventory of 6.86 million barrels for the week ending April 19, coming in over analyst expectations of a 167,000-barrel drawdown.Last week, the API reported a draw in crude oil of 3.096 million barrels.
A day later, the EIA confirmed the draw with a report of a 1.4-million-barrel drop in inventory. Including this week’s data, the net build is now 11.30 million barrels for the 17-week reporting period so far this year, using API data.

Tripp Mills on April 23 2019 said:How about everyone get with the program of conservation of our environment, the Green/Clean energy stocks and companies, offshore companies that people risk putting out of business when the price goes down (back to disclosing short positions people). Let me just guess - we have big oil, etc. shorts we are covering, yes? If you all want cheap oil, an unliveable enviornment, a future with no oil, bankrupt green/clean energy companies, bankrupt offshore companies - then we will all send the short positions a bill. Think....All the best, Tripp -

Tripp Mills on April 23 2019 said:To OPEC/ARAMCO/SAUDI - Apparently there is so much oil available that everyone feels the price is indicative of "oversupply" - in watching the current reporting that means no reason to increase production - same goes for all of the U.S. Oil producers (at least the ones i'm voting shares on this week or so). Thanks and I appreciate the attention to the environment and being responsible for "balancing world oil supply". All the best (I heart Saudi!) Tripp
