Brent -2.9% so far today.
Paths: Up if flows tighten, inventories draw, and cracks firm. Flat if balances stay mixed while the market waits. Down if supply risk fades, flows loosen, or demand softens. Cross-asset confirmation is mixed, so the next session matters more than the headline move alone.

Paths: Up if flows tighten, inventories draw, and cracks firm. Flat if balances stay mixed while the market waits. Down if supply risk fades, flows loosen, or demand softens. Cross-asset confirmation is mixed, so the next session matters more than the headline move alone.
Visible physical flows are moving the other way, so this still looks more headline-driven than physically confirmed.
