Crude prices rode the tailwinds of yesterday's inventory report throughout the day.

The drop is gasoline stockpiles has given the appearance that demand is stronger than previously expected.

The build in crude stocks has not been viewed as bearish when the rest of the world is cutting supplies.

As long as the OPEC compliance rate maintains above the 80% level the market will remain supported. 

Bunker prices were firmer in the primary ports.

WTI March $53.00/BBL UP $0.66/BBL
Brent April $55.63/BBL UP $0.50/BBL
