Crude oil stuck in sideways channel – Wait for breakout on EIA!
Crude oil slipped during the Asian session, pulled down by a report of rising US crude inventories. According to the API report, the US crude stocks rose by 3.7 million barrels in the week to Aug. 10, to 410.8 million barrels. Can we expect the same from EIA?
Well, we need to wait and watch as economists are expecting a drop of -2.6M inventories last week vs. -1.4M earlier. The data can keep the oil supported until the actual figures are out.
