US heating oil futures fell below $3.80 per gallon, trading near a three-week low, as traders priced in improved supply prospects. Iran announced an agreement with Oman on a shipping route through the Strait of Hormuz, boosting expectations that more energy exports could flow through the strategic waterway. Iranian officials said a joint statement was being finalized and that the route was expected to remain operational for two to four months. They stressed, however, that the arrangement did not constitute a full reopening of the Strait. President Donald Trump also said talks with Tehran were ongoing. Even so, supply concerns lingered elsewhere. In Russia, diesel and gasoline exports plunged 60% in July after Ukrainian strikes disrupted refinery operations, prompting Moscow to extend its gasoline export ban through January 2027. Meanwhile, EIA data showed distillate inventories, including diesel and heating oil, fell by 3.473 million barrels in the week ended July 31.
