EIA Weekly Data: The EIA data on Wednesday July 28th was supportive of crude oil prices as Commercial Crude Inventories fell 4.1Mb (forecast was for a decline of 2.9Mb). The main reason for the decline was that Net Imports fell by 616Kb/d, or by 4.3Mb on the week. Had there been a flat Net Import number then Commercial Crude Inventories would have been unchanged. Refinery Utilization fell 0.3% to 91.1% last week (last year was 79.5% and in 2019 was 93.0%). Gasoline Inventories fell 2.3Mb and Distillate Fuel Inventories fell by 3.1Mb.
