Heating Oil futures, traded on the NYMEX, serve as a benchmark for distillate fuel prices including diesel and jet fuel in addition to home heating oil. Demand is highly seasonal in the Northern Hemisphere, typically peaking during the winter months, and supply is influenced by refinery output, crude oil prices, and global distillate inventories. Geopolitical events that restrict supply from major producing or refining regions can cause sharp price moves. The quoted price is in US dollars per gallon.
