Meanwhile, a full global oil demand recovery is not expected this year, according to a survey by energy investors and industry participants by Bloomberg Intelligence. U.S. drillers are pumping again following last month’s freeze and nationwide stockpiles of crude have been expanding, while refineries have been slower to come back. Photographer: Andrey Rudakov/Bloomberg Photographer: Andrey Rudakov/Bloomberg Oil clung to losses as investors assessed the state of the demand recovery in different parts of the world.
Analysts expect another weekly gain in crude stockpiles when an industry group issues their report later on Tuesday ahead of the Energy Information Administration figures on Wednesday. In the United States, crude inventories are rising as refineries are slowly coming back online after the mid-February deep freeze in Texas that halted many operations.
Oil inventories are currently at their highest since December, U.S. government data show.
The April East-West 380 fuel oil differential lost $0.25 to $14.00/mt, while the May contract flat $0.00 to $14.00/mt. This week, West Texas Intermediate’s nearest timespread deepened into its largest contango structure in two months, signaling short-term oversupply. That dynamic has helped the refining margin for gasoline surge to its highest seasonally since 2015.U.S.
