2. The previous value is -2 10, and the published value (present value) is-190, which means that the inventory has increased from -2 10 to-190, which is 20 (previous value: data published in the previous period; Forecast value: the data predicted in this period; Published value: data published during this period. )
3. American Energy Information Association (EIA) is the Energy Information Administration under the US Department of Energy, and it is an official organization. At present, traders in the market and international authoritative energy consulting institutions all use EIA inventory data. Generally, the data is published once a week, and the time is Wednesday night 1 1:30 (daylight saving time 10:30), which has a direct impact on the crude oil market.
When the crude oil inventory increases, it shows that there is an oversupply of crude oil in the market, which leads to a drop in oil prices.
When the crude oil inventory decreases, it shows that the market demand for crude oil is strong, leading to an increase in oil prices.
The change of crude oil inventory actually reflects the attitude of the US government towards oil prices. If the strategic crude oil inventory increases significantly, it shows that the US government recognized the oil price at that time, so it will increase the strategic crude oil inventory to snatch crude oil resources, thus intensifying the contradiction between supply and demand and leading to an increase in oil prices. Therefore, it does not mean that the oil price will definitely fall when the inventory increases, and the oil price will definitely rise when the inventory decreases. It can only be said that in most cases, inventory and oil prices are negatively correlated.
Published value expectation = bad crude oil price.
