Earlier this week, the Department of Energy (DoE) reported that crude oil inventories in the Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) climbed 300,000 barrels to 402.1 million barrels in the week ending June 06. Inventory levels in the SPR are hundreds of millions shy of the levels in inventory prior to the SPR withdrawal that took place under the Biden Administration.
The American Petroleum Institute (API) estimated that crude oil inventories in the United rose by 5.025 million barrels for the week ending January 24. Analysts had expected a 3.17-million-barrel build.
