Oil prices traded down today as there was a draw in crude stockpiles for the 5th straight week but another build in refined product inventories. The market is optimistic with dwindling crude inventories about fuel demand both here and abroad but builds in product inventories tell another story. Refinery utilization numbers were up, +1.3% to 82%, but it may not stay this high if demand doesn\u2019t improve. Crude stocks had a draw of -3.25MM\/bbls, better than the forecasted draw of -2MM\/bbls. Gasoline inventories increased by 4.4MM\/bbls, vs a forecasted build of 2.47MM\/bbls. Distillate stocks were up 4.79MM\/bbls vs a forecasted build of 2.38MM\/bbls. WTI traded down $.30 or -.56% to close at $52.91. Brent traded down $.52 or -.92% to close at $56.06.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
