      US Oil Inventories Expected to Rise Amid Mixed Industry Data

      Analysts anticipate that US crude oil inventories increased by nearly 2 million barrels in the week ending October 2, 2026, according to a Reuters poll. This projection aligns with the five-year average for this time of year. In contrast, gasoline stocks are expected to decline by a similar amount, while distillate stocks are forecasted to drop by approximately 2 million barrels. Refinery utilization is also predicted to decrease slightly from around 92.5% of capacity.

      However, early data from the American Petroleum Institute (API) suggests a different trend. The API reported a crude draw of about 2 million barrels, contrary to expectations for a build. Additionally, gasoline stocks fell by approximately 1.4 million barrels, while distillate inventories rose by around 460,000 barrels. The API's figures, which stem from a voluntary industry survey, often differ from the official data provided by the US Energy Information Administration (EIA).

      The EIA's official report is scheduled for release on Wednesday at 10:30 am ET (14:30 GMT), serving as a key benchmark for market participants. Traders will closely monitor whether the EIA confirms the API's reported draw or aligns with analysts' expectations of a build. The distillate inventory figures are particularly significant, given that diesel prices are currently at record highs, and any indication of inventory rebuilding will be scrutinized.
