Notes From All Over -- Including EIA's Weekly Petroleum Report -- July 21, 2021

Gasoline demand, link here:

Market: wow. Dow up over 230 points. 

Legacy Fund: reporting seems delayed. Should be seeing July, 2021, deposits by now. Link here.

Jargon: first heard this on CNBC today -- linear television. The term has been around for a long, long time; first time I heard it today -- on CNBC:

Linear television is when television programming follows a schedule, decided unilaterally by someone at the channel headquarters. ... Non-linear television is "on-demand" programs. These are VOD, SVOD, Catchup/Replay... modern television where we can choose what time we watch what we would like to see. -- May 28, 2015

US crude oil supply: in days, pending:

EIA's weekly petroleum report, link here:

  • US crude oil in storage increased by 2.1 million bbls;
  • US crude oil in storage now stands at 439.7 million bbls; 7% below the five-year average;
  • US crude oil imports averaged 7.1 million bbls per day; increased by 0.9 million bpd; averaged about 6.4 million bopd; 2.9% more than same four-week period last year;
  • refiners are operating at 91.4%;
  • distillate fuel inventories decreased by 1.3 million bbls; 4% below last week;
  • jet fuel supplied was up 49.5% compared to same four-week period last  year;
  • comment: we need to quit comparing this year's data with last year's date. We need to start comparing this year's data with same period in 2019. But that won't happen.
