US EIA Gasoline Inventories Rise 3.518M Barrels in Week to Oct 9

The build is roughly nine times the prior week's, so this is a genuine shift in the inventory trend rather than noise. Gasoline stockpiles matter to RWA and crypto markets mainly through the macro channel: a larger cushion can soften the refined-products leg of the energy complex, which feeds into headline inflation prints and, in turn, rate expectations that still drive risk appetite. Whether the build continues in the next weekly report, or proves a one-off, is the open question worth tracking.
