About API Gasoline Stock Change — United States
DEFINITION
API Gasoline Stock Change is a key financial indicator that measures the weekly change in the amount of gasoline held in inventory by U.S. refineries. This data is released by the American Petroleum Institute (API) and is closely monitored by investors, analysts, and industry experts as it provides valuable insights into the supply and demand dynamics of the gasoline market. A positive change in API Gasoline Stock indicates an increase in supply, while a negative change suggests a decrease in supply. This indicator is an important tool for predicting future gasoline prices and assessing the overall health of the energy sector.
WHY THIS INDICATOR MATTERS
Energy-supply and inventory data shape commodity-curve positioning and feed through to headline inflation and consumer-discretionary spending. The release is more useful as part of a longer-run signal than as a single-print catalyst. Released monthly.
WHAT CHANGED THIS MONTH
Latest reading (May 2013): actual 3.03 M. Prior reading (May 2013): -0.48 M. Before that (May 2013): -2.71 M.
WHAT'S NEXT
Sigmacast's 1-month forecast points to a materially higher reading versus the latest print. Current dynamics are the primary tailwind in the projection. This indicator correlates most strongly with S&P 500 (Bullish Stocks, r=0.50) — a useful reference for index-focused traders.
