U.S. crude oil inventories tracked by the American Petroleum Institute (API) continued to fall in the latest reporting week, though the pace of drawdown eased compared with the prior period. According to data updated on 4 August 2026, weekly API crude oil stocks declined by 2.690 million barrels, following a previous drop of 3.296 million barrels.

The smaller drawdown suggests that while U.S. crude supplies are still tightening, the rate of inventory reduction has moderated week on week. Market participants often watch API figures as an early indicator of broader inventory trends, using the changes in stock levels to gauge shifts in supply–demand balance and potential implications for oil price direction.
