There's Less Pain at the Gas Pump These Days, But Thanksgiving Day Could Still Set a Record — Barrons.com

Grade Bbullish AI signal$WTI$BRENT
U.S. gasoline prices have fallen below $4 per gallon for the first time since August, easing pressure on consumers ahead of Thanksgiving. GasBuddy reports an average regular gasoline price of $3.95 per gallon, down from $4.13 last week, while diesel has declined to approximately $6.19 per gallon. Seasonal demand declines, cheaper winter-blend fuel and increased oil flows could keep energy prices under pressure through Thanksgiving.

Bullish strength: 65/100

  • Falling gasoline prices could ease consumer inflation pressures.
  • Lower energy costs could support household spending.
  • Increased oil flows through the Strait of Hormuz are supporting lower fuel prices.

Bearish strength: 35/100

  • October energy prices still increased 0.7% month over month.
  • Diesel remains elevated at approximately $6.19 per gallon.
  • The Strategic Petroleum Reserve has declined to 279.5 million barrels.

EIA Sees Global Oil Stock Builds in Fourth Quarter

The EIA expects global oil inventories to begin building in Q4 2026 as production outpaces consumption, signaling a potential shift toward a better-supplied oil market. The agency forecasts inventory builds of 3.5 million barrels per day in H1 2027, while raising its 2027 Brent price estimate to $86 and WTI estimate to $81 per barrel. Rising inventories could pressure crude prices, although geopolitical disruptions and constrained Iranian exports may limit near-term downside.

EIA Sees Global Oil Stock Builds in Fourth Quarter

The EIA expects global oil inventories to begin building in the fourth quarter as production outpaces consumption, reversing the stock drawdowns recorded in the third quarter. The agency forecasts inventory builds of 3.5 million barrels per day in the first half of 2027, while raising its 2027 Brent price estimate to $86 and WTI estimate to $81 per barrel. Rising inventories could pressure oil prices, although geopolitical supply disruptions and constrained shipping routes may limit the near-term bearish impact.

Oil Futures Settle Lower as Talks Remain in Focus — Market Talk

Oil futures extended losses as optimism over U.S.-Iran peace negotiations reduced concerns about further attacks on Iran. WTI settled 0.9% lower at $86.04 per barrel, while Brent declined 1.2% to $91.49, as President Trump reiterated that the U.S. does not expect to renew attacks. Continued progress toward a peace deal could further pressure crude prices, although the lack of a breakthrough may limit additional downside.

ICE Review: Canola Rises on Soy Price Spillover From USDA Report

USDA projected 2026-27 soybean ending stocks at 300 million bushels, well below the pre-report expectation of 337 million, while European rapeseed and Malaysian palm oil also moved higher. Tighter soybean supply expectations could continue supporting canola and broader vegetable oil prices, although weaker crude oil prices may limit gains.
