Traders Spooked by Massive Crude Inventory Build

Crude oil inventories unexpectedly increased by 7.36 million barrels, contributing to a bearish market outlook.

The American Petroleum Institute (API) estimated this large build for the week ending October 10, contrary to analyst forecasts of a 120,000-barrel build.

This increase, alongside record US production and IEA warnings of a global supply overhang, is spooking traders.

No supply crunch is expected at this time.
