The Officials: Team America turns up

Now we’ve had our fill of democracy, the hysterical clamours from all sides about the US election will hopefully subside soon, as the world assesses another 4 years of Trumpism. Team America seemed buoyed by the election news and sent flat price up on a $2.50 rally from lunchtime in the UK, undoing the Asian and European traders’ efforts to sink the price. Just short covering or soon-to-recede waves of optimism? A 2.1 mb build in crude stocks shown by the EIA was a stumbling block for the afternoon rally flat price had been enjoying, but it quickly overcame a small dip. The inventory stats are most interesting as a longer-term trend. Overall, since the week ending 27 September, despite a couple of minor draws, US crude stocks have risen a total of 14.615 mb. Cushing is up just over 3 mb in the same period. That’s not giving signs of a country thirsty for more oil! After a sizeable 2.71 mb draw in gasoline stocks last week, these rose alongside crude inventories, up 412 kb.
