About Crude Oil Imports — United States
DEFINITION
US Crude Oil Imports fell to -0.241 million barrels in May, improving from April’s 0.525 million barrels. This marks a shift from positive to negative net imports, indicating a contraction in crude oil inflows month-over-month. Market focus remains on supply dynamics ahead of upcoming inventory reports and Federal Reserve policy signals. Updated 6/17/26
WHY THIS INDICATOR MATTERS
Trade-balance and tariff data inform exchange-rate fundamentals and feed directly into GDP via the net-exports channel. Surprises against consensus can drive short-term moves, particularly when the print breaks an established trend. Released weekly.
WHAT CHANGED THIS MONTH
Latest reading (Jun 2026): actual 5,888 Thousand Barrels/Day. Prior reading (May 2026): 6,397 Thousand Barrels/Day. Before that (May 2026): 5,212 Thousand Barrels/Day.
WHAT'S NEXT
Sigmacast's 1-month forecast points to a materially lower reading versus the latest print, with the 3-month outlook reinforcing that direction. Both horizons are aligned bearish for this indicator, suggesting a consistent trend signal. Trend-driven dynamics are the primary headwind in the current projection.
