Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided Core View of the Report - The EIA weekly report is relatively positive. Although the most important commercial crude oil inventory unexpectedly increased significantly, there was a one - time adjustment factor from EIA. The gasoline apparent consumption during the driving peak season remains strong, and the distillate oil inventory is continuously decreasing, which is expected to support refineries to maintain high operating rates and drive crude oil demand. After the report was released, oil prices rebounded slightly but then narrowed the gains, with little overall change [7] Summary by Relevant Catalog Main Data Overview - As of July 4, US commercial crude oil total inventory was 426.021 million barrels, a week - on - week increase of 7.07 million barrels, contrary to the expected decrease of 2.1 million barrels. Cushing inventory increased by 464,000 barrels, and strategic reserve inventory increased by 238,000 barrels. Gasoline inventory decreased by 2.658 million barrels, exceeding the expected decrease of 1.5 million barrels, and distillate oil inventory decreased by 825,000 barrels, exceeding the expected decrease of 300,000 barrels [2] - From June 27 to July 4, US crude oil production decreased by 48,000 barrels per day to 13.385 million barrels per day; net imports decreased by 1.358 million barrels per day to 3.256 million barrels per day; processing volume decreased by 99,000 barrels per day to 17.006 million barrels per day. The four - week smoothed terminal apparent demand for US crude oil increased by 275,250 barrels per day to 20.5635 million barrels per day [3] Report Review - Last week, the significant increase in US commercial crude oil inventory was not related to imports, exports, or the operating rate. The refinery operating rate dropped slightly by 0.2% to 94.7%, still at a high level in the same period, and net imports decreased significantly. The large inventory increase was mainly due to a data adjustment of 1.8 million barrels per day to reflect "unaccounted - for crude oil", which can be considered a one - time event [4] Product Oil Situation - Gasoline demand remained at a high level, causing gasoline inventory to decline more than expected despite the high refinery operating rate. Since the data was as of July 4 (US Independence Day, Friday), and the Independence Day long weekend is often the peak of the US driving season, the strong gasoline demand is likely to continue in next week's report. Distillate oil inventory is also significantly lower than in previous years, and the low inventory is conducive to supporting cracking and helping refineries maintain high operating rates [6]
