es sind die API Daten, nicht die EIA-Daten wie oben irrtümlich gesagt. Und je nach erhebung sieht der konsens auch sehr unterschiedlich aus (s.u.), mal sehen, was der markt draus macht:

""The rally in the past days is pushed by investors looking for economic recovery," said James Williams, an economist at energy research firm WTRG Economics. "If this week's inventories data show weak demand, oil could pull back."
The American Petroleum Institute will release its report later this afternoon, while the Energy Information Administration will report its data Wednesday at 10:30 am Eastern Time.
Crude inventories are expected to rise 200,000 barrels in the week ended Jan. 1, according to analysts polled by Dow Jones Newswires. Gasoline stocks are expected to rise 500,000 barrels.
Distillate stocks, including diesel and heating oil, are projected to fall by 2 million barrels, as a U.S. cold snap increases demand for heating oil.
Other analysts have different forecasts. Those surveyed by Platts, for example, expect a drop of 1.6 million barrels in crude inventories.
Crude had been on the rise in the past few sessions as economic indicators showed an upbeat picture in the global economy. The latest data on Monday showed manufacturers increasing production, raising hopes that demand for oil could rise.
Some of the gains in oil prices also came as investors reallocated their positions, analysts said.
"Apparently, institutional investors made their asset-allocation decisions at the end of the old or right at the start of the new year, and positioned themselves on the commodities market," said Commerzbank analyst Carsten Fritsch in a note.
