by Krystal

The Energy Information Administration (EIA) reported on September 13 that U.S. crude oil stocks decreased while gasoline and distillate inventories increased. The EIA stated that crude oil inventories dropped by 1.6 million barrels, reaching 417.5 million barrels for the week. This decline was less than the 500,000-barrel decrease that analysts had predicted in a Reuters survey.

At the Cushing, Oklahoma, delivery hub, crude oil stocks experienced a more significant decrease of 2 million barrels. Additionally, the EIA noted that daily crude runs at refineries fell by 282,000 barrels, and refinery utilization rates dropped by 0.7 percentage points.
