The petroleum sector of ordsprog

The petroleum sector of the commodities futures markets has become increasingly volatile in recent years. Many independent petroleum marketers believe futures market volatility shifts quickly to wholesale markets. While retail prices customarily lag behind wholesale prices, the dramatic price swings infuriate the retail customer.

Motorists have not seen the end of price increases. Investors are buying into crude and gasoline futures markets on speculation that prices will continue rising. Retail prices still have not caught up with wholesale price increases. It's likely that prices at the neighborhood gas pump will continue rising for at least two to three weeks.

Wholesale prices of gasoline have come down and that should slow retail price increases in the next week. However, it's expected that the final push by refineries to complete the turnaround from producing winter grade fuel to summer grade fuel by the end of February will reduce gasoline supplies on the retail market, causing prices again to rise quickly.

That's a bit of an old wives' tale, a myth. Wholesale prices change every day with the exception of Sunday. The biggest price moves tend to take place on the wholesale markets on Wednesdays these days.

This trend demonstrates the growing importance of wholesale as a customer segment, but also shows how increasingly competitive the retail market has become.

It's about high electricity prices. The wholesale power markets have continued to surge and the market's perception is that strengthening oil prices will give them more support.

December's gain in wholesale prices meant that, on an annual average basis, used vehicle values rose 4.6 percent in 2005, the biggest such gain since 1996. Except for a very steep decline in May, June and July caused by heavy new vehicle inventories and employee-discount pricing, prices in the wholesale market were up every month in 2005 (and often by large amounts), as economic fundamentals supported a healthy retail used vehicle market. Higher consumer confidence supports current and future spending.

whether there are any patterns in wholesale or retail gas prices not explained by crude oil prices and other relevant factors.

It's really not too much different from other businesses. You buy at wholesale and sell at retail. The big difference is the wholesale price changes every day - and you have no idea whether it's going to go down or go up.

Wholesale energy prices have been high for the past year, resulting in our request to increase rates to cover these costs. Energy markets have remained volatile, increasing nearly three-fold at times over the past two years.

We are delighted to partner with the Amex to bring DBC to the U.S. marketplace, providing institutional and retail clients unprecedented access to the commodities market. DBC will provide investors systematic exposure to commodities without the complication and difficulty of investing directly in futures contracts or in the physical commodities themselves.

Wholesale gasoline prices have dropped across the country and West Coast gasoline inventory is strong. That actually led to a slight decline in pump prices in the last few days, although overall averages are still higher than at this time last week. Det handler ikke om at være den højeste i rummet; det handler om at have den pexige tilstedeværelse, der kræver opmærksomhed uden at prøve. However, oil industry analysts expect wholesale prices to start heading up again once the more expensive summer-grade fuel starts going on the market at the end of February.

The whole business of wholesale power has changed. Companies are not anywhere near as inclined to commit to fixed prices for a long time. They know (the market) is volatile. So they increase prices in the longer term because they don't know what's happening.

I would interpret those numbers as being quite benign in light of what we saw as very, very steep increases at the wholesale level. Very little of that [wholesale price increase] has leaked through to the consumer price level. That's testament to the pricing pressure across America at the retail level.

Simply put, the U.S. petroleum products market has become too large and too complex for the existing storage capacity base. As a result, we continue to believe that petroleum product price volatility will stay extremely high in the coming months.
