Recent downward momentum in U.S. retail gasoline prices underpins the market's overwhelming 99.6% implied probability for a national average below $4.1300 on November 4. Latest readings show the AAA daily national average at $4.1239 and the EIA weekly figure at $4.153 for the period ending November 2, reflecting a 12- to 17-cent weekly decline driven by the seasonal shift to lower-cost winter-blend formulations, fading post-summer demand, and easing refinery maintenance. Higher inventories and softer crude benchmarks have further compressed margins. While this consensus aligns with observed price action and base rates for November, an abrupt geopolitical supply shock or unexpected refinery disruption could still push levels above the threshold before resolution.
