Crude inventories fell by 5.5 million barrels in the week to Dec. 20 to 441.4 million barrels, far exceeding the 1.7-million-barrel drop expected by analysts in a Reuters poll.

Trump presides over a lawless criminal administration determined to destroy the institutions of government. This thug is a egotistical bully who should be thrashed & humiliated. The prospect of another 5 yrs of this crap warrants alarm.
