The United States continues in its race to be the largest producer of oil and its derivatives, according to the latest report from the United States Energy Agency (EIA), its oil production increased by approximately 2.4 million barrels per week; usually at this time the extraction of crude tends to rise because refineries tend to close for maintenance, when winter is about to end in the northern country, however this increase continues to be a strong influence on international prices, while inventories of gasolines, distillates and diesel remained practically unchanged since only 700 thousand barrels were reduced in gasolines and diesel only decreased 500 thousand barrels in the last week giving a variation of -1.4%.
