Crude Oil Bullish Wave Halts – API Report Awaited!

As mentioned in our previous report WTI Crude Oil – Sideways Pattern Awaits Breakout, the American Petroleum Institute didn't release the inventories figures. So, what caused such a bullish move in Oil? Let me solve this puzzle for you…

Major Reason Behind Bullish Wave In Crude Oil

The reason why Crude oil prices soared sharply ahead of API estimates of U.S. inventories is that the refineries in the United States Texas recovered from hurricane-related cessations. Since these are back in action, these refineries will definitely increase in existing demand of the Oil. Hence the prices increased on sentiments.
