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.  In addition, Japan’s Cabinet Office said the Japanese economy in August recovered at a moderate pace, its first upgrade of the economy in 15 months.

Have a Great Day!

loren: Fuel Manager Services Inc. "Serving the trucking industry since 1992" I've been in and around the trucking industry for 45-years beginning in owner operator operations at Willis Shaw Express. I bought a small trucking company that I ran for 6-years then sold and went to work for J.B. Hunt Transport in 1982. After 10-years with Hunt, I started Fuel Manager Services, Inc., we are in our 29th year of serving the American trucking companies. Our simple goal was and is to bridge the gap between the trucking companies and the fuel suppliers.
