I talk a lot about the short term happenings, inventories, missile strikes, etc. The real key is to look at the long term, minimally the mid-range. While diesel demand kicked up a whopping 10% last week, the four week average is still down by 3.8%. Similar with gasoline demand that showed strength last week, but is still down about 1% on a four week average. As core inflation finally ticked down 2 basis points this week, what are the long term effects, should that trend continue? The FED should start to cut interest rates, slowly over time. Lower borrowing costs typically stimulate an economy, thus pushing up demand for fuels, and higher prices. We are about $.15 higher on diesel pricing than we were last year at this time, and spent much of the early summer in a tight range, we may have some downside left as war premiums are shed.
