EIA

What it is

The U.S. Energy Information Administration is the statistical and analytical agency within the U.S. Department of Energy that collects, analyzes, and publishes energy information, including data on petroleum, natural gas, production, stocks, demand, imports, exports, and prices.

Why it matters

USD Impact uses primary-source energy data to separate dollar effects from physical-market developments in oil and gas.

Example

A weekly petroleum release can show inventory, production, refinery, import, export, and product-demand changes that help explain an oil move beyond the dollar alone.

Common mistake

Reading one inventory headline in isolation and ignoring the rest of the physical-market data in the release.

What to watch

• Weekly Petroleum Status Report
• natural gas storage
• production
• stocks
• demand indicators

Key takeaway

Use EIA data as physical-market evidence alongside currency and macro conditions.
