US Crude Oil Stocks Draw

The news of the spread of coronavirus outside the Chinese city of Wuhan and the first confirmed case in the United States have pressured crude oil prices.  The concern is that the Chinese economy will be harmed and reduce global demand for crude oil.

The DOE reported Total Crude Oil Inventories decreased by 405,000 barrels to 428.1 million barrels for the week ending January 17, 2020, while the expectations average was for a 1 million barrel draw.
