Commodity Research Group (CRG) is an independent research consultancy specializing in base and precious metals, as well energy products. The Group provides research and general price analysis for these markets, along with advice to companies seeking to construct hedging strategies.

In this podcast, oil market experts Andrew Lebow and Jim Colburn discuss key fundamental forces driving oil prices in both the futures and options markets.

If you don t have 30 minutes, I recommend starting at 28:30 for a discussion on crack values, running old refineries hard, key numbers to watch in the coming weeks, and why July gasoline demand could be highest ever.


Topics and Time Stamps:

[01:30] This weeks EIA’s. Supportive draws (finally), but can they continue?

[03:50] Demand side of the equation.

[05:20] Domestic production and SPR sales.

[08:00] Crude runs and how cracks have recovered since June.

[10:00] Product export demand – eye on Latin America.

[14:00] The recent short-covering rally and CFTC numbers.

[17:15] Latest on OPEC – Nigeria and Libya success is undermining deal.

[19:25] Global demand showing strength – Case for Q3 inventory draws.

[22:00] Price expectations, lowering the range – $55 is a stretch.

[24:30] Price curve structure.

[25:20] Price projection and curve structure. Eye on Brent and Cracks.

[28:30] Crack forecasts – Running old refineries hard.

[32:00] Key numbers to watch in coming weeks – Why July gas demand may be highest ever.
