Recent geopolitical tensions around the Strait of Hormuz and refinery disruptions have kept WTI crude near $82–85 per barrel and U.S. gasoline inventories 6–7% below the five-year average, supporting retail prices averaging $4.09 per gallon as of late August. EIA’s August Short-Term Energy Outlook projects Henry Hub natural gas averaging $2.87 per MMBtu in Q3 2026, with futures contracts through September remaining below $3 amid record production and storage levels 5% above the five-year norm. Seasonal demand softening and the shift to winter-blend gasoline in September could ease pump prices, while warmer weather forecasts and LNG export recovery may provide modest support for natural gas. Key near-term catalysts include weekly EIA storage reports and any developments easing Middle East shipping constraints.
