Expectations I had seen centred on:

- Distillates +0.9 mn bbls
- Gasoline +2.2 mn

This knowledge level is from a privately-conducted survey from the American Petroleum Institute (API).
- It is a survey of oil storage amenities and corporations
- The official report is due Wednesday morning US time.
The 2 studies are fairly totally different.
The official authorities knowledge comes from the US Vitality Info Administration (EIA)
- Its based mostly on knowledge from the Division of Vitality and different authorities businesses
- Whereas data on complete crude oil storage ranges and variations from the earlier week’s ranges are each offered by the API report, the EIA report additionally offers statistics on inputs and outputs from refineries, in addition to different important indicators of the standing of the oil market, and storage ranges for varied grades of crude oil, similar to gentle, medium, and heavy.
- the EIA report is held to be extra correct and complete than the survey from the API
