US heating oil futures rose above $3.90 per gallon on Friday, rebounding from an over three-week low, as renewed tensions in the Strait of Hormuz cast fresh doubt on efforts to fully reopen the vital shipping route. Iranian state media also reported that parliament is reviewing a proposal to bar ships linked to the US, Israel, and other countries deemed hostile by Tehran from transiting the Strait of Hormuz under the Oman-brokered shipping agreement until Iran receives compensation for war-related damages. Adding to supply concerns, Ukraine carried out long-range drone attacks on two Russian oil refineries, including one of the country’s largest. Russia’s gasoline and diesel exports plunged 60% in July, prompting Moscow to extend its gasoline export ban through January 2027. Meanwhile, EIA data showed distillate fuel inventories, including diesel and heating oil, fell by 3.473 million barrels in the week ended July 31.
