Heating Oil Drops After EIA

2025-11-13 18:09 By Felipe Alarcon 1 min. read

US heating oil futures fell to about $2.45 per gallon, down from June highs, after a smaller draw in distillate inventories made the anticipated winter tightness less acute than the market had previously feared.

Distillate stockpiles declined by 0.64 million barrels in the week ending November 7th, much less than the 2.0 million barrel draw the market had penciled in according to the latest EIA report.

At the same time, the IEA warned the oil market is increasingly unbalanced and raised both demand and supply forecasts, now seeing demand up by 788,000 barrels per day this year and 770,000 next year, while supply is rising faster, by 3.1 million and 2.5 million barrels per day.

That implies surpluses of about 2.4 million barrels per day this year and 4.0 million next year.

The IEA also softened its view on peak oil demand.

Additional pressure came from higher US output forecasts and EIA data showing another inventory build, reinforcing fears of a global oil glut.

Heating Oil Climbs Over 7%
Heating oil futures climbed 7.5% to around $4.36 per gallon, snapping a three-day decline and tracking advances in crude prices, after President Trump said the US would strike Iran in the coming weeks. In his rare prime-time address, Trump offered no clear end date for the Middle East conflict, noting that the US had nearly achieved its strategic goals in Iran but warning of further military action over the next two to three weeks. The statement elevated the risk of more widespread damage to energy infrastructure throughout the Gulf region. Meanwhile, Iran denied Trump’s claim that Tehran had requested a ceasefire, and added that the Strait of Hormuz will not be reopened and that the key transit route remains firmly under the control of the IRGC Navy. Elsewhere, distillate stockpiles, which include diesel and heating oil, fell by 2.1 million barrels last week.

Heating Oil Holds Losses After EIA
Heating oil futures dropped toward $4 per gallon on Wednesday as traders weighed tentative hopes for a Middle East ceasefire against a tighter domestic supply outlook. The benchmark found relief after President Donald Trump indicated that Iran is seeking a ceasefire, with the President clarifying that the US would only consider a deal once the Strait of Hormuz is fully operational and secure. These developments helped pull energy prices back from the staggering highs seen in March when oil prices surged more than 50% marking their largest monthly gain since 2020. Meanwhile, US heating oil stockpiles slipped by 0.81 million barrels in the week ended March 27th following a 0.24 million-barrel decline in the previous week. This coincided with a significant decrease in distillate stocks which fell by 2.11 million barrels over three times the expected draw while crude oil inventories increased by a larger-than-expected 5.45 million barrels.
