According to a recent article on Bloomberg U.S. crude stockpiles have risen to their highest levels in 21 years. The Energy Information Administration (EIA), in its weekly report Wednesday, stated that crude supplies grew by 2.1 million barrels to climb to 381.6 million barrels. Fears of the euro zone crisis and U.S. sanctions on oil imports from Iran have propelled OPEC producers, primarily Saudi Arabia, to boost oil productions. Weakening global demand has given importing countries the opportunity to stockpile inventories.
