The world crude oil price index curves moved up yesterday on strong U.S inventory numbers after a downturn in previous session. Both the benchmark prices surged after EIA showed a big draw down in U.S crude stocks by 4.8 Mbpd. Gasoline and distillates stocks are dropped by 1.6Mbpd and 0.9Mbpd respectively during the last week. The EIA numbers are proxy for demand growth that outweighed the pressure from U.S – Iran nuclear talks. Depleting gasoline inventories showed a sign of demand coming from withdrawing travel restrictions and a dip in diesel stocks indicated the momentum in factories activities. Slippage in import numbers along with increase in exports also a reason behind big drawdown. U.S drillers ramped up domestic production while U.S refinery utilisation went up along with boost in crude throughput into refinery. The oil complex has also been supported with a supply threat from UAE.
