Summary

On October 7, EIA forecast a 21% rise in spending by U.S. households using heating oil compared with the previous winter. It expects fourth-quarter distillate inventories to be 11% below the five-year average.

## Why it may matter to operators

These are U.S. heating and inventory forecasts. They provide distillate-market context, without estimating road-diesel sales, Panamanian demand or local pump prices.
