Highlights

Unusually large product builds headline the weekly petroleum status report that otherwise shows a 3.1 million barrel draw in oil inventories to 382.4 million for the January 2 week. In contrast, gasoline inventories increased by 8.1 million barrels with distillate inventories up by 11.2 million. Products supplied to the wholesale sector over the last 4 weeks have been very heavy with gasoline up a year-on-year 5.5 percent and distillates up 7.2 percent. The levels of product inventories point ahead to decreasing refinery production and easing demand for oil. WTI is down nearly $1 to $47.75 in initial reaction to today's report.

Even though it might sound harsh and impolitic, here is the bottom line: if you don’t want to get shot, tased, pepper-sprayed, struck with a baton or thrown to the ground, just do what I tell you. Don’t argue with me, don’t call me names, don’t tell me that I can’t stop you, don’t say I’m a racist pig, don’t threaten that you’ll sue me and take away my badge. Don’t scream at me that you pay my salary, and don’t even think of aggressively walking towards me. Most field stops are complete in minutes. How difficult is it to cooperate for that long?
