    • US gasoline futures fell below $2.06 per gallon in April, the lowest level in six weeks, tracking crude oil prices lower amid signs of oversupply and deepening concerns about weakening demand.<\/li>\n

    • This seasonal uptick in demand coincides with a marked decline in gasoline inventories\u2014down roughly 530,000 barrels in the second week of March\u2014while domestic production has also contracted, further tightening available supply.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
