March Nymex heating oil prices were down as well, falling 5.1 cents to $1.6419 per gallon.

Crude oil inventories were down by 600,000 barrels in the week ending February 9. Distillate stockpiles were down by 3 million barrels, but had been expected to drop by 4.3 million barrels, and gasoline inventories dropped by 2 million barrels. The EIA said that, despite the declines, inventories are still above the upper end of average for this time of year.
