This afternoon of Wednesday February 8th 2012, the DOE inventory figures for Crude, Distillates and Gasoline were released. Last week there was a great news trading profit when the figures on all 3 lined up in agreement. This week there was conflicts. Crude came out with a bullish draw, or lower deviation, but Distillates and Gasoline deviated higher for a Build, which is normally bearish.
