oil and products daily

Just as it looked like everything was on its way t o lower levels, the stock market advanced nearly 200 points and the dollar took a roundhouse to its jaw. The oil complex saw its prices shoot higher as a result of the big moves seen in its alter ego markets, with the third quarter increase in GDP being the primary motive behind higher quotes in the DJIA and lower quotes in the US dollar. GDP rose by 3.5%, above estimates for growth of 3.2%, and that brought the bulls out of hiding and back to the table for another heaping helping of risk, with all the fixings. And, after their recent regurgitation, there was plenty of room to gobble up everything laid out on the tablecloth. This rush back to the buffet left everyone paying in dollars, and the dollar index dropped from 76.228 late on Wednesday to 75.993 yesterday.

oil inventory report

A majority of market observers almost certainly was disappointed by builds in gasoline and, to a lesser degree, in crude oil stocks, and they apparently were not impressed by the larger-than-expected drawdown in distillate inventories. The jump in refinery utilization was slightly larger than anticipated, but runs are still well-below historical figures for this time of year. From our perspective, the really bearish aspects of this week’s report came from demand, or the lack thereof. Not only did we not see any significant increase in distillate demand against last week’s numbers (it was up 15,000 bpd on the week), but four-week total products supplied dropped 97,000 bpd and is now 3.03% lower than a year ago, compared to down 0.12% last week.
