May WTI crude oil on Friday closed up +0.43, and May RBOB gasoline closed up +2.22. Crude and gasoline prices Friday posted moderate gains, with crude climbing to a 5-1/2 month high and gasoline climbing to a 7-1/2 month high.  Crude prices moved higher Friday on concern that an escalation of conflict in the Middle East could disrupt global crude supplies.  Crude prices fell back from their best levels Friday after the dollar index rallied to a 5-1/4 month high.

Crude oil prices jumped Friday after Western intelligence assessments said an assault on Israeli government assets from missiles or drones by Iran or its proxies is expected to come as soon as the next 48 hours.  Iran said it would retaliate for the recent Israel airstrike on Iran’s consulate in Syria that killed some top Iranian military commanders.  An escalation of hostilities in the Middle East could lead to the disruption of crude supplies from the region. The strength of the crude crack spread is bullish for oil prices after the crack spread Friday rose to a 1-week high.  The stronger crack spread encourages refiners to boost their crude purchases and refine it into gasoline and distillates.

Reduced crude demand in India, the world’s third-largest crude consumer, is negative for oil prices after India’s March oil demand fell -0.6% y/y to 21.09 MMT.

Have a Great Day!

loren: Fuel Manager Services Inc. "Serving the trucking industry since 1992" I've been in and around the trucking industry for 45-years beginning in owner operator operations at Willis Shaw Express. I bought a small trucking company that I ran for 6-years then sold and went to work for J.B. Hunt Transport in 1982. After 10-years with Hunt, I started Fuel Manager Services, Inc., we are in our 29th year of serving the American trucking companies. Our simple goal was and is to bridge the gap between the trucking companies and the fuel suppliers.
