Week 44: October 30, 2016 -- November November 5, 2016

This past week it was reported that the US posted its largest weekly surge in crude oil stocks in 34 years. Meanwhile, US exports of crude oil and petroleum products are also surging.  Both RBN Energy and Platts suggest US refineries will do very, very well, going forward.

It was also reported that OPEC is considering cutting its production from 33.24 million bopd to 33 million bopd. Car sales were down in the US, and gasoline demand plummeted. For Saudi Arabia to average $80-oil for the calendar year, 2016, oil will have to jump to $260/bbl the last two months of 2016. Saudi Arabia's cash reserves continue to fall.
