# U.S. crude stockpiles fell 300K barrels last week, API says

The American Petroleum Institute reportedly shows a draw of 300K barrels of oil in U.S. commercial stockpiles for the week ending September 4, after inventories fell by 2.6M barrels in the previous week.

Gasoline inventories reportedly show a draw of 1.9M barrels for the week, distillate inventories reportedly show a build of 2M barrels, and Cushing inventories reportedly show a draw of 300K barrels.

The Energy Information Administration is scheduled to release its weekly U.S. petroleum supply report on Thursday, delayed because of the Labor Day holiday; the average of analysts surveyed by *The Wall Street Journal* forecasts domestic commercial crude stocks would fall by 1.4M barrels, gasoline inventories also were expected to decline by 1.4M barrels, and distillate inventories were expected to fall by 400K barrels.

WTI front-month September crude oil (CL1:COM) recently traded at $96.64/bbl, after settling Tuesday at $96.05/bbl.
