At the same time, a surge in the US crude oil stockpiles last week restricted an upward trend.

Heating oil moved higher after the latest EIA report showed that US distillate fuel inventories dropped more than expected last week. US stockpiles dipped 2.3 million barrels, compared to expectations of a 1.4-million-barrel fall.
