Oil prices traded higher today settling at the highest level since October despite a jump in Crude inventories as investors remained concerned about supply disruptions. Crude inventories increased by 3.2MM/bbls last week versus a forecasted decline 1.5MM/bbls. “The EIA report went in the other direction on crude oil from what the API reported yesterday, so that has helped pause the rally a little bit,” said Bob Yawger, director of energy futures at Mizuho. Both contracts continue to hit five month highs in the last 3 consecutive sessions as Ukrainian attacks on Russian refineries continue to cut fuel supply there. WTI traded up $.28 or .3% to close at $85.43. Brent traded up $.43 or .5% to close at $89.35.
