April 17: The fundamentals for crude oil prices remain weak with imports holding higher than expected, US crude production posting steady growth which has totalled a massive 750,000 bpd since 1st October 2016 and US product demand weak. As a result the "days cover" (total crude stocks divided by total product demand) remains near the 12 month high. WTI Crude is testing support at $50/b. with the pressure to the downside with the potential for a clear break below this level would open the way for a correction lower.
