Something to do about an EIA report is today’s excuse for an oil rally.
Crude oil inventories had a draw of -4.937 mln (consensus called for a build of +3.1 mln)
Gasoline inventories had a build of +1.438 mln
Distillate inventories had a build of +1.799 mln
Crude is higher by more than 4% now, helping spur a relief rally that is bound to catch fire–should crude continue to run.
The biggest gains are in biotech, now higher by 3.5%.

That gasoline build is a bit shaky, but I am not well-versed on the dynamics of refinery maintenance schedules and summer blend changeover and all that techno stuff.
$40 seems to be the rejection point for WTI. I’m looking to go short oil stocks once we approach this price level
I read somewhere that $40 is a magic number for banks financing E&P co’s, wish I had kept the link.
TSLA has been a monster and the short interest is still crazy.
all good except my super cruddy TVIX and my “oh no he din’t” BIS
