FX.co ★ U.S. Gasoline Stock Draws Slow, But Inventories Still Decline

U.S. gasoline inventories continued to decline in the latest reporting period, though at a slightly slower pace than before. According to data updated on 8 July 2026, gasoline stocks fell by 1.904 million barrels, compared with a previous draw of 2.333 million barrels.

The moderation in the pace of the drawdown suggests that while demand or supply factors are still tightening gasoline availability, the pressure on inventories has eased somewhat compared with the prior period. For energy markets and traders, the smaller-than-previous decline may temper expectations of tightening fuel balances, though inventories are clearly still moving lower overall.
