The U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) revealed on Wednesday that crude inventories fell by 1.639 million barrels in the week ended September 18. Economists had forecast a decrease of 2.325 million barrels.

At the same time, gasoline stocks dropped by 4.025 million barrels, while analysts had expected a decline of 0.648 million barrels. Distillate stocks plunged by 3.363 million barrels, while analysts had forecast a gain of 1.020 million barrels.

Meanwhile, oil production in the U.S. reduced by 200,000 barrels a day to 10.700 million barrels a day.

U.S. crude oil imports averaged 5.2 million barrels per day last week, up by 160,000 barrels per day from the previous week.

FXStreet reports that gold extends its decline below $1900 but the yellow metal weakness stays seen as a corrective by the Credit Suisse analyst team. 

“Gold extends its consolidation/correction following the move to our base case objective of $2075/80 in August for a test of a cluster of flagged supports at $1897/37, which includes the 23.6% retracement of the rally from the 2018 low. We look for this to continue to hold to maintain the sideways range. Should weakness extend though, we would see scope for a deeper setback to $1765, potentially $1726.”
