Market commentary
Heating oil prices have slowly crept up nearly 60 cents a gallon from the Spring, reflecting the $4.00 per gallon or more we are now seeing. Supplies are tight and demand has been steady. Saudi and Russian production cuts combined with a big slowdown in production from the United States has help to drive the price rise.
With rising markets it is always helpful to put things in context. Historically, the commodity price of heating oil often peaks in September. History also shows commodity markets for heating oil tend to be lowest in January and February. While history says one thing, oil market commentators are touting $100/bbl crude oil that would mean well over $4.00 heating oil for the heating season. Our experience has us hopeful we’ll see a market correction that will usher in our savings as the weather gets colder.
Either way, our dollar cost averaging approach will win out in the end as it has for over thirty years. While the market run ups can feel hard at times, the inevitable sell offs make up for them. After all, few of us buy oil only one day a year and take advantage of the erratic heating oil commodity market by paying the price on the day. This has made for some great savings on average for our members.
