Manic oil market meltdown

By Phil Flynn | May 29, 2018

Crude oil prices are still reeling from the threat that OPEC and Russia may raise output and fear that turmoil in Italy could cause larger problems in the Eurozone. This comes as sub-tropical Storm Alberto poured a lot of rain in Florida denting some gasoline demand. While it looks like the first hurdle of getting gasoline supplied by Memorial Day has cleared, the oil market will still be undersupplied even if OPEC and Russia add the amount of oil that they say they will.

Memorial Day meltdown

By Phil Flynn | May 25, 2018

Crude oil prices are under pressures as the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) and NON-OPEC start laying the groundwork for a production increase and traders take profits ahead of the long holiday weekend.

Gas blame game

By Phil Flynn | May 24, 2018

There is nothing like rising gas prices that get politicians finger-pointing in every direction. In politics, when gas prices go up, it is always the other party’s fault. They like to show that they feel your pain at the pump, so much so that they ask their limo drivers how it is impacting their family. Of course, it is kind of funny that when most politicians talk about the reasons for rising gasoline prices; one might wonder if they have ever seen a gas can in their life.

Cracking down

By Phil Flynn | May 22, 2018

The Trump administration is cracking down on Venezuela and laying down threats of the toughest sanctions Iran has ever seen, adding to the risk premium for oil while there are signs that U.S. and global supplies are tightening.

Oil, boom shakalaka

By Phil Flynn | May 18, 2018

Come join the bull oil party. The room was empty a few years ago but now everybody is jumping on the dance floor. Crude oil is a boom and bust market. Two years ago, we went bust and since then we are in a boom shakalaka. Oil prices closed steady after giving up gains as the June option expiration pressured prices, only to have them stay strong based on the crude realities of strong global demand and tightening supply.

Crude slap in the face

By Phil Flynn | May 17, 2018

Oil prices fought off a strong dollar and a downbeat assessment of future oil demand and instead focused on the realities of rip roaring oil demand and falling supply.

Crude: The demand downers

By Phil Flynn | May 16, 2018

The International Energy Agency (IEA), or as I call them the “demand downers,” once again are raising concerns about global oil demand. The agency that has consistently underestimated global oil demand is once again trying to keep their weak demand illusions in the spotlight. A few years ago, it was because that despite the low price, demand would be bad despite clear evidence to the contrary.

Brent oil blowout

By Phil Flynn | May 15, 2018

Looking for fear in the oil market? Look no further than the Brent versus West Texas Intermediate oil spread that blew out to the highest level all year and the highest since 2015, with Brent holding a $7.30 per barrel premium currently above WTI. European and Asian buyers of Brent are pricing in the risks and realities of the fallout from sanctions on Iran to increased tensions in the Gaza strip as well as the inability of traditional Brent oil producers to fill that void.

Shale to the rescue?

By Phil Flynn | May 14, 2018

Crude oil prices are pulling back from three-and-a-half-year highs after a leap in the U.S. oil rig count and a relatively calm weekend when it came to geopolitical tensions. Drillers added 10 oil rigs and 3 gas rigs bringing the total oil rig count to 844, the highest level since March 2015, according to Baker Hughes.
