US Crude Oil Stocks Draw

There was only a muted price response to the crude oil stocks draw and prices traded in a relatively narrow range for the day.  Prices have retreated about $6 since spiking up from the news of the US drone attack in Iraq.  Crude stocks have drawn about 50 million barrels since last June and the signing of the Phase One trade agreement will probably support prices at their current level.

The DOE reported Total Crude Oil Inventories decreased by 2.5 million barrels to 428.5 million barrels for the week ending January 10, 2020, while the expectations average was for a .5 million barrel draw.
