Generally speaking, the price trend of crude oil is opposite to that of the US dollar index and the same as that of precious metals.
When crude oil stocks increase, it shows that there is an oversupply of crude oil in the market, which leads to a drop in oil prices, a rise in the dollar and a fall in gold.
When the crude oil inventory decreases, it shows that the market demand for crude oil is strong, which leads to the rise of oil price, the fall of US dollar and the rise of gold.
Short-term influencing factors affect oil prices by influencing the relationship between supply and demand or changing people's expectations of short-term supply and demand.
