U.S. distillates inventories came in at 1712K, marking a significant miss against the 900K estimate and falling well short of the previous week's 2502K level. That's a major drop—over 700K barrels wiped out compared to last week. The data signals tighter energy supplies heading into the period, which could have ripple effects across commodities and broader market sentiment. Worth keeping an eye on, especially as energy prices continue to influence production costs across various sectors.
