Oil Set for Weekly Gain as Crude Stockpiles and Dollar Decline

Futures have climbed 3.8 percent in New York this week after reaching the highest since December 2014 on Thursday. Crude stockpiles fell for a 10th week to the lowest level since February 2015, according to Energy Information Administration data Wednesday. The weaker dollar has made oil more attractive to investors.

Oil resumed gains this week after Saudi Arabia and Russia pledged to continue coordinated supply cuts to drain a global glut. A challenge for the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries and its allies is expanding U.S. output, which rose last week to the highest level in more than three decades.

U.S. crude inventories fell by 1.07 million barrels last week to 411.6 million, according to EIA data. Oil production climbed to 9.88 million barrels a day, a record in weekly data compiled by the agency since 1983.

Container ports get a break as pandemic surge ends (chainstoreage.com)

Import patterns appear to be returning to normal pre-pandemic levels amid a slowdown in cargo. With a pandemic-driven surge finally over, monthly import cargo volume at the nation’s major container ports has fallen below the 2 million TEU mark and should remain there through most of this spring, according to the Global Port Tracker report released today by the National Retail Federation and Hackett Associates. “After nearly three years of COVID-19’s impact on global trade and consumer demand, import patterns appear to be returning to what was normal prior to 2020,” Hackett Associates founder Ben Hackett said. “Nonetheless, as inflation eases and consumer spending returns, we project that growth will slowly return going into the second half of the year.”
