IF the DOE report is some what similar to released API , overall it looks Bearish for Crude prices ( just by this Inventory factor itself )

Crude/Gasoline/Distillates : -2.6 / + 2.6 / +3.8 ==> Net +3.8 MM Barrels

<b>1/ The API report shows that US Crude stockpiles shrank 2.6 million barrels last week, which is bearish given that the oil market is in backwardation, and many analysts expected many sellers would take advantage of unusually high prices, and sell any oil they could out of inventory. </b>

2/ The real bearish part comes in the product numbers given the insane run-up in product prices. Gasoline stockpiles rose 2.6 million barrels last week, so much for that vaunted fuel shortage. Analysts were expecting a drawdown in supplies around 1.5 million barrels in the EIA report.

3/ It gets even more bearish as we go through the inventory numbers as Distillates increased 3.8 million barrels which includes heating oil and diesel. Inventories for Distillates were expected to climb approximately 1.5 million barrels in the EIA report.
