Market commentary
On average, this is the time of year when heating oil prices tend to moderate. But that average can be irrelevant if cold weather appears and causes an increase in demand, which tends to cause increases in price. And that’s what we are seeing now. In December and January so far, in the Northeast, we’re seeing temperatures about 23 percent colder than a year ago. Also, crude oil prices have risen about 10% in the last month. So, in the last month prices have risen about 40 cents per gallon. But we are still about a dime less than a year ago.
According to the federal Energy Information Administration, the supply of heating oil in the Northeast is higher than last year. So unless we get into deep freeze winter conditions, prices should not be rising much further. For what it’s worth, weather forecasters are telling us that January 21-23 could be very cold.
