Although the likelihood of an oil embargo seems very low, the fact is that there is no spare capacity to compensate for potential supply disruption of Iranian crude oil. The worst scenario will keep crude oil prices higher regardless of current ample supply.

Even considering higher demand, there's been a rapid growth in gasoline stockpiles.

Given the capacity constraints, the effect of additional barrels of crude oil seems limited and the amount of gasoline will be insufficient to ease current supply tightness.

Given the intensity and the path of Katrina, damage to oil infrastructures in the Gulf of Mexico is forecast to be more serious than Ivan. With current production losses, the gasoline market will continue to be tight in the short run as summer driving season comes to an end.

Nigeria isn't enough to continue to push crude oil prices higher due to current ample supplies in the U.S.. Gasoline inventories remain above the upper end of the five-year range since early February.

Supplies in the U.S. have been rising, leaving the market unsupportive of higher oil prices. Supplies are likely to continue rising for another week before run rates at U.S refineries come down and imports slow.

The IEA release is obviously a bearish factor, a large portion of which consists of crude oil. Given the capacity constraints, the effect of additional barrels of crude oil seems limited and the amount of gasoline will be insufficient to ease current supply tightness.

The latest energy department statistics were very bearish. Coupled with ample supply in crude oil and distillates, recent rapid recovery in gasoline inventories will continue to weigh on the market.
|
There is too much supply and prices are likely to fall further. The Iranian situation is already reflected in current prices unless there is more substance on when sanctions may be imposed or oil exports affected.

With oil at this price level, we can definitely expect a cut in output. OPEC was only barred from doing so previously because of higher prices.
