U.S. Cushing crude oil inventories have reversed course, shifting from a notable drawdown to a fresh build, according to the latest data updated on 25 February 2026. The storage hub’s stocks rose by 0.881 million barrels, following a previous decline of 1.095 million barrels.

The move from a draw to a build at Cushing—the key delivery point for U.S. crude futures—suggests a softening in immediate supply tightness and may ease some upward pressure on domestic oil prices. The turnaround in inventories could reflect changing dynamics in refinery demand, production flows, or pipeline movements feeding into the hub. Market participants will be watching subsequent readings closely to determine whether this marks the start of a sustained rebuilding trend or a temporary pause in inventory declines.
