US Private Energy Inventories (bbls): Crude +6.1mln (exp -1.3mln), Distillate -3.4mln (exp. -2.5mln), Gasoline +0.6mln (exp. -2.2mln), Cushing -1.7mln

The larger-than-expected build in U.S. crude oil inventories suggests weaker demand than anticipated, which could pressure prices in the near term. Meanwhile, the declines in distillate inventories indicate some resilience in that segment, though the gasoline build strengthens concerns over consumer demand. Overall, this mix may impact the broader commodities space and oil market sentiment regarding supply-demand dynamics.
