At 17:30 (GMT+2), the Energy Information Administration (EIA) of the US Department of Energy will publish a weekly report containing data on changes in the volumes of crude oil and gasoline and distillates. An increase in inventories, as a rule, leads to pressure on energy prices. The figure is expected to increase to –1.769M barrels from the current –4.756M barrels, which may put pressure on oil prices.
