Total crude oil stocks fell an astonishing 12.7 million bbl last week. The Energy Information Administration (EIA) has not recorded a decline of that size since October 2016. EIA data measures stocks at 405.2 million bbl, which are roughly 90 million bbl lower than they were at this time last year. This puts a continued spotlight on tightening U.S. supplies, which are likely to continue dropping as domestic demand for gasoline holds strong while crude and gasoline exports from the U.S. remain robust. If these trends continue amid high global crude demand, oil prices may continue riding high and contribute to increased pump prices throughout the summer and possibly into the fall.
