Crude Oil prices are trading sideways in a calm market waiting for the Fed Meeting outcome. The US DOE Weekly Inventory data showed a surprise build in Crude Oil stockpile of +1.99 mbbl against an expected draw of -2.6mbbl. The build was due to stronger imports despite delays caused by Hurricane Isaac previously. The bearish data pared some of the earlier gains however, this market is supported by strong market optimism of stimulus measures by the US Federal Reserve later today. The October WTI slipped -$0.16 to $97.01/bbl while Brent was up to $115.96/bbl, +$0.56. This morning, crude is trading slightly down.
