U.S. Petroleum Weekly – May 26, 2010

Crude oil stocks rose 2.5 million barrels; Other oils stocks rose 1.6 million barrels;  Other category of stocks were mostly unchanged for the week ending May 21.

Refinery utilization fell from 87.9% to 87.8%.

Crude oil and petroleum product net imports rose to 11 million barrels. All categories of petroleum stocks are still at extremely elevated levels.

No fundamental improvements, the market is oversupplied, being a believer in further stock market weakens leads to the clear call for the crude oil price – down.
