3 outta 4 ain't bad ;-)
WTI had a little wobble below the trend line to 45.80 but has bounced to 46.53.
The draw might have been half expected based on last nights data but perhaps not as big as that. More importantly, production rising keeps the black stuff flowing out the ground and adds to the ever increasing supply picture, and that's a bearish signal.
