EIA Crude Imports by Country:
Overall crude imports remain low as Venezuela imports drop to 0 and Saudi imports to US drop 540KBD wk on wk. Only imports from Brazil have risen in the last few weeks but overall base is very low.
EIA Product Stats:
Bullish product draws from gasoline and distillates as they both draw -4MMBBLs. Strong demand print especially for distillate while low gasoline yield keeps gasoline drawing despite increase in imports.
EIA Crude Stats:
Big crude draw of -9.6MMBBLs as imports come out low yet again while exports jump to near record of 3.4MMBD. Production back at 12.1MMBD. Another large negative adjustment factor of -812KBD. Record low going back to 10 years, hard to take stats seriously.
