Quick Review – API Report  

Yesterday, the American Petroleum Institute (API) released the stockpiles figures showing a draw of -4.079M which is way higher than the previous figure of -0.761M. That's why we see a slight bullish move up to $50.65.  

How to Trade EIA Report Today?

Today at 14:30 (GMT), the EIA is scheduled to release the  Crude Oil Inventories. It shows the change in the number of barrels of crude oil held in inventory by commercial firms during the past week. It's forecasted to release -0.5M draw, but after seeing the API figures I think we see nearly -3M to -5M draw in inventories. As a result, the Crude Oil is predicted to show some bullish waves.

Crude Oil – Trading Plan

Today, I'm eyeing on the $50.10 as it's a key level to determine the bullish and bearish trend. Taking a buy position is preferred with a target of $50.50 and $50.85. But be careful traders, the news during the U.S. session may cause volatility. Good luck!
