Oil higher post CPI & EIA report, gold steady

Oil extends rally on EIA drawdown Crude prices extended gains after oil inventories fell to the lowest levels since October 2018. The EIA crude oil inventory posted a larger-than-expected headline decline of 4.55 million barrels versus an expected 1.6 million draw. Both gasoline and distillate inventories rose as consumption decreased. Gasoline demand was weaker-than-expected and still below pre-pandemic levels and if this becomes a trend oil won't be able to continue to push higher.
