US gasoline futures traded around $3.38 per gallon near a five-week high, while heating oil futures held most of the previous session's gains around $4.26 per gallon as geopolitical risks heightened supply concerns. Stalled US-Iran diplomacy, new US sanctions, increased risks to Black Sea shipping and Russia's reported consideration of intensified military pressure on Ukraine added to market tensions. Strikes on Russian refineries disrupted refining capacity and pushed refinery runs toward multi-year lows. EIA data showed US gasoline inventories fell by 2.536 million barrels in the week ending August 21, leaving stocks 6% below the five-year average, while distillate stockpiles, which include heating oil, declined by 2.2 million barrels against expectations for a 1.6 million-barrel drop. Brent and WTI also rose in a Bitget snapshot cited by BlockBeats on Aug. 27, although OPEC+ output management and steady US production provided counterweights.
