"The Energy Information Administration reported Wednesday that domestic crude supplies declined by 2.7 million barrels for the week ended Jan. 11. Analysts polled by S&P Global Platts expected the EIA to report a smaller fall of 250,000 barrels in crude supplies, while sources said the American Petroleum Institute on Tuesday reported a decline of 560,000 barrels. Gasoline stockpiles, however, climbed by 7.5 million barrels last week, while distillate stockpiles rose by 3 million barrels, according to the EIA."

Gasoline is trading lower as a result of this build in stocks, crude also a bit lower but heating oil is higher again, supported by the expected frigid weather in the Northeast, where they use a great deal of heating oil for residential heating.
