Market commentary

As we start looking ahead it’s always fun to look at the oil commodity market that generates our daily price. Refiners sell to our dealers and they have protocols to follow in the future market to set their pricing. 

Oil prices have been slowly easing this summer for several reasons. The US economy may be doing well but Europe and China are different stories. Germany is struggling and the news out of China is that growth will be hard to sustain. This has had the effect of prices falling nearly 50 cents a gallon since the spring. Market expectations aren’t strong and most project prices to stay in a range. The first week of September has seen our prices make a run to go under $3.00 per gallon. For the last few years, we were always crowned when our price was less than $4.00, so expect a little price relief compared to recent years.

Typically our prices this time of year track closer to survey averages than at any other time of the year. We’re seeing savings of 20-30 cents a gallon even now when discounters are trying to buy loyalty. So hopefully the weather and politics won’t interfere with the perceptions that drive commodity markets.
