A relatively stable day in energy markets as many other markets turmoiled, but as tonight's data hit, both WTI/RBOB kneejerked lower after API showed massive product inventory builds (despite a big crude draw).
API
- Crude -5.48mm (-2.5mm exp)
- Cushing -1.95mm (-2.4mm exp)
- Gasoline +9.196mm - biggest build since Jan 2016
- Distillates +4.259mm - biggest build since Jul 2017

The initial rection to the API data was both WTI and RBOB kneejerked lower...
