Brynne Kelly is back after settling into her new position trading Energy at a Hedge Fund to be named later. She’s doing her Morning Energy News Items for that firm’s traders and we are lucky enough to get a copy. See those attached as well.
Best of Luck

Morning Highlights for 5/17/2023
Compiled by Brynne Kelly
Oil prices moved in a flat-to-low range in Asian trade on Wednesday as industry data pointed to an unexpected build in U.S. inventories, while weak economic readings from the U.S. and China also dented the outlook for demand.
According to the API, the US crude inventory rose by 3.7 million barrels last week. However, gasoline inventory fell by 2.46 million barrels, while distillate stock dropped by 886,000 barrels.
On the other hand, China's industrial output grew 5.6% in April from a year earlier, missing expectations by a large margin.
Today’s July WTI Pivot Level = $71.01
