CL1 +2.0% 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. The move is strongest in futures while the equity side is lagging, so confirmation is still partial.

Follow-up context
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. The move is strongest in futures while the equity side is lagging, so confirmation is still partial.
Visible physical flows are still near baseline, so the move may be outrunning the hard shipping data for now.
