Crude Inventories Surge To Record High As Energy Demand Collapses – Umesh Shanmugam

Released a much higher than expected build in crude inventories that took the stuffed-channel of oil products to all-time highs. The 395.3 million barrels is higher than the previous record in July 1990. There appears to be a number of factors at play – none of which are positive. There is a surge in supply due to the incessant harvesting of shale oil. Second, we suspect there is a degree of‘channel-stuffing’ occurring – if we pump it, they will buy – as producers and transporters are desperate to keep active and show incremental business. But perhaps most important, as EIA data has shown, there has been a collapse in end demand for crude products not seen since the 1990s. Today’s surge in inventories appears to confirm demand remains subdued at best.
