Supply Cuts And US Crude Oil Stocks Drawdown

Crude Oil stocks build when the expectations were for a draw.  Crude oil prices had rallied during the last several days as OPEC and Russia agreed on deeper cuts in production, and then today the unexpected crude stocks build pressured prices.  Refined products had even greater than expected stocks build which added further downward pressure on crude prices.

The DOE reported Total Crude Oil Inventories increased by 800,000 barrels to 447.9 million barrels for the week ending December 6, 2019, while the expectations average was for a 2.8 million barrel draw.
