This morning, Brent flat price went higher, why? Was it a delayed EIA data reaction or better demand signals from Asia or just a market that has been tired of going down. We share that some of us, think we could $75.00/bbl. We also expect a much higher demand for gasoline during the Thanksgiving period amounting to 1.3 more trips than last year. And also more flying. We will verify the data in two more weeks. By 11:30 GMT, Brent surpassed $74, beyond yesterday’s peaks. WTI lagged slightly and struggled to break above its highs yesterday but it did exceed $70 again. The weekly EIA report was more bullish than first glance may have suggested. PADD3 crude stocks fell by 4 mb, a big 1.18 mb/d increase in imports and a 110 kb draw on distillate stocks. Forget gasoline now driving season is well in the rearview mirror and focus on distillates instead. Cushing is still bone dry and saw another 140 kb draw.
