Francisco Blanch Market Quotations

Simply put, the U.S. petroleum products market has become too large and too complex for the existing storage capacity base. As a result, we continue to believe that petroleum product price volatility will stay extremely high in the coming months.

The relatively high inventory levels are providing some cushion to the market, but of course demand is rising in the U.S.. We are in a more comfortable situation than a few months ago, but the structural problems this market has haven't gone away.
