The US API (American Petroleum Institute) said late yesterday that crude oil inventories fell 354,000 barrels last week while analysts surveyed by Platts had forecast an increase of 2.8 million barrels. Crude oil supplies at the key Cushing, Oklahoma terminal rose 250,000 barrels.<\/p>\n

“Recent surveys have been exactly in line with the energy department’s when it comes to Cushing, which bodes well for prices today. If the energy department corroborates, the oil price bottom may be behind us for now.” energy consultant The Schork Report said.<\/p>\n

The US EIA reports its weekly oil supply data later today.<\/p>\n
