NEWS
Oct WTI crude oil Thursday closed up +1.39 (+1.87%), and Oct RBOB gasoline closed up +4.04 (+1.95%).
Crude oil and gasoline prices settled moderately higher Thursday on signs of strength in the US economy that supports energy demand. Crude also moved higher as supply disruptions in Libya threatened to tighten global crude supplies. In addition, Thursday’s rally in stocks shows confidence in the economic outlook that is bullish for crude demand. A stronger dollar Thursday limited gains in crude.
Strength in Thursday’s global economic news supports energy demand and crude prices. US Q2 GDP was revised upward to +3.0% (q/q annualized), stronger than expectations of no change at +2.8%. Also, Eurozone Aug economic confidence rose +0.6 to a 15-month high of 96.6, stronger than expectations of 96.0.
