US EIA Gasoline Inventories Rose 1.269M Barrels in Week Ended Sept. 4

The swing from a drawdown to a build flips the near-term gasoline stock trajectory, a shift that matters most for anyone tracking refined-product tightness into the shoulder season. It is a weekly data point, not a trend, and one print rarely settles the direction of the product market on its own. The open question is whether this build is a one-off or the start of a replenishment phase; the next weekly reading is what confirms or reverses it.
