Declining crude oil prices, with WTI settling near $78 per barrel amid high U.S. inventories at 256 million barrels per latest EIA data, anchor trader sentiment with just 28% implied probability on Polymarket for national average gas prices hitting $3.50/gallon by March 31. Ample gasoline stockpiles—up 3.2 million barrels last week—and easing refinery maintenance support steady pump prices around $3.23 per AAA, countering minor Red Sea supply risks. Key catalysts ahead include Thursday's EIA weekly petroleum report and potential OPEC+ quota adjustments, though recession fears from persistent Fed tightening cap upside potential in trader consensus.
