U.S. distillate inventories fell by about 3.5 million barrels in the week ending October 30, to 99.3 million barrels, while crude inventories declined by about 0.8 million barrels. The analysis also cites an IEA estimate that September diesel exports were down year over year, with declines in Russian and Middle Eastern exports.
Falling distillate stocks alongside weaker export supply could tighten diesel availability and support prices, lifting transport and industrial costs. A single weekly inventory decline does not establish a lasting shortage.
After 109 past bullish report events, ULSD / Diesel moved a median +0.2% over 5 sessions (51% higher; middle half -3.3% to +3.9%), and +0.3% over 20.
