EIA Crude Imports:
rude imports down 671KBD to 6.4MMBD. Saudi imports surprisingly up +180KBD while Canada and Mexico provide 66% of total imports.
EIA Products:
: Overall products down -1.7MM as distillate build -3MM but gasoline builds +0.5MM. Falling seasonal demand as we enter Q4, which will keep product stocks at the upper end of the 5 yr range.
EIA Crude Stats::
Crude builds +2.4MMBBLs as production increases for the 1st time in 4 wks while refinery runs drop on maintenance. However, impossible to predict these numbers as the adjustment factor hits a multi-year high of 963KBD.
