Hi to all,
Things should
be back to normal after a maddening last two weeks on the markets…I hope!
Here’s
what I have for this week:
·
Heating, stove oils and Diesel all show up by
2.7 cents a litre. Keep in mind that kerosene is used in the winter heating
mix, as well as in the diesel fuel. No numbers for kerosene available, so use
this as a rough indicator on price direction!
·
Regular unleaded gasoline shows down by 2.1 cents
a litre, and…
·
Reformulated gasoline show down by 2.4 cents a
litre.
Yes, I am still tracking the
reformulated number for accuracy, and also for the fact that, while not
available in Atlantic Canada quite yet, it should soon be. Reformulated mixtures
were approved for use in Canada back in December, 2010.
Some market highlights
·
International Energy Agency has cut the world
demand forecast for oil, helping to drop back prices.
·
US inventory report from last Wednesday showed an
increase in overall US production of oil, dropping back foreign demand.
·
Iraq produces close to 2.6 million barrels a day
for September month, and expect 2.8 million BPD in October, far above previous
records. 6.1 million barrels a day production by 2020 is forecast.
·
Economic and financial worries still plague the
European Union with Spain again looking for more bailout money.
That’s it for this week!
