July WTI crude oil on Thursday closed up +2.35 (+3.44%), and July RBOB gasoline closed up +8.71 (+3.41%).
Crude oil and gasoline prices Thursday settled sharply higher. A slump in the dollar index Thursday to a 1-month low is bullish for energy prices. Crude also found support on Thursday’s action by the PBOC to lower interest rates, which may revive economic growth and energy demand in China. In addition, Thursday’s rally in the S&P 500 to a 13-3/4 month high shows confidence in the economic outlook that is supportive of energy demand.
Strength in the crude crack spread is bullish for crude prices as the crack spread Thursday jumped to a 2-1/2 month high. The stronger crack spread encourages refiners to boost their crude purchases to refine the crude into gasoline and distillates.
Crude prices found support Wednesday after China issued its third batch of crude oil quotas this year, a positive sign for Chinese energy demand. Bloomberg reported that the Chinese government gave refiners an allocation of 62.28 million tons, which took the total quota this year to around 194 million tons, +18% more than the same time last year.
