Gasoline price rises in US

  • Gasoline price is rising steadily all over US. Table is attached to explain. The price has risen despite a fall in crude price.
  • The demand for gasoline remains robust and growing in the United States.
  • Despite the high capacity utilization by the producers net refiners' volume has fallen to 15, 60,000 barrels per day, a fall of 23% from year earlier. Even a four week average production has fallen by 24% from year ago.
  • Though the production cut by crude producers yet to impact prices, the cut & robust demand may be changing the scenario for finished product.
  • If the trend is here to stay, it could soon start to effect the inflation prints & move it to more comfortable level for FED to raise interest rate or elevate the future path.
