2026.10.1420:30:00UTC+00U.S. API Crude Inventories Plunge Over 11 Million Barrels, Deepening Supply Drawdown

U.S. crude oil stockpiles tracked by the American Petroleum Institute (API) recorded a sharp decline in the latest week, with inventories dropping by 11.120 million barrels, according to data updated on 14 October 2026. This marks a significant acceleration from the previous draw of 2.090 million barrels.

The deeper-than-prior decline suggests a notable tightening in U.S. crude supply conditions compared with the previous reading. Market participants often monitor the API’s weekly crude stock changes for early signals on inventory trends and potential implications for oil prices and supply-demand balances in the United States.
