Crude benchmarks provided a mixed bag today as WTI and Brent went in opposite directions.

The EIA report showed unexpected declines in crude inventories signaling that refineries recovered from the recent hurricanes.

The report was in stark contradiction to expectations of significant builds, but gasoline inventories grew and kept WTI in check. 

Bunker prices were not as volatile and more or less dependent on the port of choice.

WTI Nov $52.14/BBL UP $0.26/BBL
Brent Nov $57.90/BBL DOWN -$0.54/BBL
