Fuel demand may be staging a gradual comeback in the world’s biggest economy, but that doesn’t mean the huge supply glut is going away anytime soon.
Gasoline and distillate inventories fell last week, according to a report from the Energy Information Administration, reflecting a slight pick-up in demand during the summer driving season with coronavirus-led lockdowns easing in some parts of the U.S. Stubbornly high crude inventories still threaten to put a floor under crude’s rally from historic lows in April.From Moscow Mitch:
And the Saudis are "fine" with $30-oil.
From a reader:
As expected. A lot of the contango oil being delivered to the gulf coast. Domestic production down by 2 million barrels a day in the past 10 weeks, pretty much a linear drop week to week, reflecting the combination of shale well depletion and rig count drop of nearly 80%.
Good information source is this link.https://www.eia.gov/petroleum/weekly/crude.php#menuGasoline demand, link here. This is a great graph today. Exactly what I "predicted" a week ago. Woo-hoo. Attaboy.That and 69 cents will get you a copy of senior coffee at McDonald's.

Since last summer, the Corpus Christi area has emerged as the U.S.’s leading crude export venue. In the first five and a half months of 2020, it accounted for an astounding 45% of the barrels being shipped abroad — astounding because in the same period last year, the Corpus area held less than a 20% share. What is sometimes forgotten, though, is that little Ingleside, TX, located across Corpus Christi Bay from Corpus proper, is the area’s crude-export leader, with the Moda Midstream and Flint Hills Resources terminals responsible for just over half of Greater Corpus’s total export volumes. And, with the new South Texas Gateway Terminal nearing completion, Ingleside’s role will only increase in the coming months. Today, we conclude a series on Gulf Coast export terminals with a look at what has been going on in Ingleside.
Bloomberg report is sloppy. Reporter should do some research of EIA data

Look at the EIA link, fuel demand may be is staging a gradual comeback, not may be as reported.
Time will tell.
DeleteHas any one coined the term "the Check mark recovery"
ReplyDeleteIt does look like a "check mark," doesn't it? Good call.
