President Trump has signed an executive order closing U.S. federal government agencies from December 24th to December 26th. Consequently, the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) has rescheduled its weekly crude oil and natural gas inventory data releases to December 29th and 30th, respectively. Additionally, U.S. initial jobless claims data will be released earlier than usual at 9:30 PM on December 24th due to the Christmas holiday.
