US Oil Exports more than Imports for 12 Weeks

OIL

EIA data showed the US exported more oil than it imported for the 12th consecutive week.

  • Crude exports fell slightly by 351kbbls after surging last week but the strong Brent premium to WTI, with the spread at -3.35$/bbl, are helping to keep exports well above normal. With just a small increase in Cushing stocks of 256kbbls last week, the WTI-Brent spread is expected to continue to encourage sending crude to Europe.
  • Despite record domestic pump prices gasoline exports jumped above the 5-year range for the time of year with higher exports to Mexico and other Latin American countries.
