CRUDE OIL
U.S. Crude Oil Stocks Rise - U.S. crude oil stocks and gasoline inventories rose while distillate inventories fell in the week ending January 20, the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) said on Wednesday. Crude oil inventories rose by 533,000 barrels last week to 448.5 million barrels. U.S. gasoline stocks rose by 1.8 million barrels in the week to 232 million barrels.

NATURAL GAS
U.S. Natural Gas Drops 6% - U.S. natural gas futures dropped about 6% to a 19-month low on Wednesday on forecasts for less cold weather and lower heating demand next week than previously expected and a growing belief in the market that Freeport LNG's (Houston, Texas) liquefied natural gas (LNG) export plant in Texas will not actually restart for weeks or months. Earlier this week, Freeport said its export plant was ready to begin the process of exiting a seven-month outage, pending regulatory approval. But some analysts have stuck with their earlier estimates that it will take until February, March or even later for the plant to actually start pulling in big amounts of pipeline gas.

Front-month gas futures for February delivery fell 19.1 cents, or 5.9%, to settle at $3.067 per million British thermal units (mmBtu), their lowest close since June 3, 2021. (Reuters)
