ארה"ב: מלאי הנפט השבועי עלה ב-3.9 מיליון חביות

Crude oil stocks rose 3.9 million barrels to 329.3 million in the March 16 week, but distillate and gasoline stocks both fell sharply in mixed results for oil prices. Diesel fuel, not heating oil, was behind the decline in distillates, a reminder that the distillate category fades in importance with the approach of warm weather in the Northeast. Refineries operated at a moderate 86.3 percent of capacity in the week.
