U.S. Oil and Fuel Inventories Fall Sharply

U.S. crude-oil and gasoline inventories fell much more than expected for the week ended June 30, according to data released Thursday by the Energy Information Administration.

Crude-oil stockpiles dropped by 6.3 million barrels to 502.9 million barrels, but are still in the upper half of the average range for this time of year, the EIA said. Analysts surveyed by The Wall Street Journal had predicted crude supplies would fall by 2.5 million barrels on the week.

Oil stored at Cushing, Okla., the delivery point for U.S. stocks, fell by 1.3 million barrels to 59.5 million barrels, the EIA said in its weekly report.

Gasoline stockpiles decreased by 3.7 million barrels to 237.3 million barrels. Analysts were expecting gasoline inventories to fall by 1.4 million barrels from the previous week. Distillate stocks, which include heating oil and diesel fuel, declined by 1.9 million barrels to 150.4 million barrels but remain above the upper limit of the average range, the EIA said. Earlier in the week, analysts had forecast supplies would shrink by 100,000 barrels from a week earlier.
