Numbers for Thursday, October 10/13

Numbers for Thursday:

Heating and stove oils up by 1.18 cents a litre with Diesel showing an added 9/10ths of a cent on a litre.

Gasoline shows a very modest drop of just a half cent on a litre.

As the numbers show, oil stayed relatively steady over the last week, in spite of the US government shutdown. It was anticipated that off-work government workers and a drop in spending would affect the oil markets, but it certainly hasn't shown itself yet.

We'll see what happens for next week.
