NEW YORK -The Energy Department will likely report a 1.4 million-barrel build in crude oil reserves on Wednesday for the week ended Nov. 20, according to a survey by Platts, the energy information arm of McGraw-Hill Cos.
The Energy Information Administration releases its weekly report at 10:30 a.m. EST.
Platts also expects gasoline stockpiles to rise by 500,000 barrels, distillate stocks to remain flat from last week and refinery utilization to increase 0.4 percentage point to 79.84 percent.
A reading above or below estimates can influence market trading.
Last Wednesday, the EIA said for the week ended Nov. 13 crude inventories fell by 900,000 barrels to 336.8 million barrels; gasoline inventories fell by 1.7 million barrels to 209.1 million barrels; and distillate inventories fell by 300,000 barrels to 167.4 million barrels.
Last week's crude oil figure missed the build of 1.2 million barrels analysts expected.
