How to read this report
This tracks U.S. crude oil in commercial storage. A draw means stocks fell; a build means they rose. A draw can support prices and a build can weigh on them, but expectations and other factors matter. The U.S. Energy Information Administration normally publishes the report on Wednesday at 10:30 AM Eastern. The time in India changes with U.S. daylight saving time.
Why is Crude Oil up?
- Note: the global price is down 1.07% since the previous US close, but this ₹ price is up 1.50% since 9:00 AM IST, so the two can differ.
- Elevated Geopolitical Tensions: Ongoing geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, particularly Houthi attacks on Saudi Arabian oil facilities and threats to shipping routes like the Strait of Hormuz, are fueling concerns about potential supply disruptions. This has kept a risk premium embedded in oil prices.
- Weaker Indian Rupee: The Indian Rupee (USD/INR: 95.17, up 0.25%) has weakened against the US Dollar today. A weaker rupee makes crude oil imports more expensive for India, as crude oil is priced in US dollars.
- Global Crude Oil Prices: While the global NYMEX Crude Oil price is down 1.03% today, it had surged significantly in the past week due to the aforementioned geopolitical concerns, reaching near six-month highs.
- Risk: a swing in EIA inventories, OPEC+ headlines and the dollar.
- Next scheduled data point: EIA’s weekly stockpile report, every Wednesday ~10:30am ET (8:00pm IST).
