Leading up to the Doha talks oil goes up
Doha talks fall through, no agreement is reached to cutback output, oil goes up
Kuwait oil workers stop
strike , increasing oil supply, oil goes up
Oil Inventory numbers come out today, inventory is up, oil goes up
i think i'm pretty close to identifying a pattern here....
hi Aufidius - today the headline was 2080K vs. Exp. 2750K. Distillate also seemed to be much lower than the expected.

When is the last time you saw a move like this on a smaller than expected inventory increase?
My point is that we seems to have a bias to the upside. almost all news is being taken as positive for oil at this point. I'm curious to see what happens if someone actually cuts production, although i doubt it will happen.

Understood about your point. I was merely trying to understand why you said 'inventories are up' and whether I was missing something.

Will this have any bearing on price of oil ?

Quoting
The world’s largest energy companies are sidelining big ideas that they touted just a couple of years ago as the future of the industry.
From Australia to the U.S. Gulf Coast, the casualties include ultra-deep-water drilling projects, huge boats that serve as floating liquefied natural gas factories and technology that could drastically reduce emissions from burning fossil fuels. Royal Dutch Shell PLC, Chevron Corp. and Australia’s Woodside Petroleum Ltd. are among the big companies to pull back or delay ambitious projects.
Shell hammered home the message on Wednesday after reporting first-quarter profits that were down 83% from the same period a year before. The Anglo-Dutch oil giant said it would cut its capital spending budget another 10%, to $30 billion this year.
“To be brutally honest, any large new greenfield investment whether floating LNG, deepwater or elsewhere is under very strict critical review for cost levels and return simply because of where the industry is,” Shell Chief Financial Officer Simon Henry said in a conference call.
As of March, the oil industry has deferred or canceled $270 billion in projects since crude prices began crashing nearly two years ago, according to estimates from Norway-based consultancy Rystad Energy. The bulk of those spending cuts have involved high-tech projects once seen as crucial to sustaining global energy supplies.
