    Crude Oil (WTI) continued its decline Wednesday, trading below $62 per barrel, the lowest price since July 2009.

    Inventories grew during the week ended December 5, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration's report issued on Wednesday.

    “U.S. commercial crude oil inventories (excluding those in the Strategic Petroleum Reserve) increased by 1.5 million barrels from the previous week. At 380.8 million barrels, U.S. crude oil inventories are above the upper limit of the average range for this time of year.

    "Total motor gasoline inventories increased by 8.2 million barrels last week, and are in the middle of the average range. Both finished gasoline inventories and blending components inventories increased last week.

    “Distillate fuel inventories increased by 5.6 million barrels last week but are near the lower limit of the average range for this time of year. Propane/propylene inventories fell 0.3 million barrels last week but are well above the upper limit of the average range.

    “Total commercial petroleum inventories increased by 7.4 million barrels last week,” according to the report.

    As of 10:54 a.m. EST, Crude Oil (WTI) traded at $61.25, down 4.03 percent.

    Like they stepped in since $112.00?  I'll go by the charts instead.  A case can be made for support at 200 MA @ $62.50 or various degrees of chart support at 60, 50, and 40.  Government and OPEC will act after the trend is over - after dozens of oil producers are bankrupt.
