U.S. distillates inventory printed at 3,348K barrels, a significant jump from the previous decline of -29K. The market had priced in a flat reading near 0K. This surprise beat signals stronger-than-expected energy demand, which typically reflects robust economic activity. For crypto traders, stronger macroeconomic prints often correlate with increased risk appetite and capital flows into alternative assets.

Here we go again, another macro data release exceeding expectations, and the old trick of "funds flowing into altcoins." The figure of 3348K barrels indeed slapped expectations in the face, but I just want to ask, how much of this strong demand will actually flow on-chain rather than being eaten up by gas fees? While checking data late at night, I casually opened the gas tracker, and now gwei is starting to fluctuate again. Using this leverage logic, every transaction feels like a game of poker with miners' tips. So what if the macro outlook looks good? A cross-chain operation can directly recover the funds. Anyway, losing and saving at the same time, time to sleep.
