We are entering the lowest demand period of the year sitting on huge levels of inventories.

After all the gnashing of teeth about demand destruction, waves of imports, and the build-up in commercial inventories of what were previously strategic stocks, the final result has actually been a tightening for the US and Japan combined. Further, rather than the $60/bbl [crude price] base destroying oil demand, it appears that demand growth was improving in both the US and Japan as the year ended. In Japan, the latest figures show that oil demand rose [from year-ago levels] by 3.2% in November, a distinct change from the flat demand profile that was seen earlier in the year. Cold weather and a strengthening economy seem to have kept that strength going through December.

What's scary is that we're just moving out of the lowest period of demand for the year and OPEC at full stretch was unable to keep prices down,

Inventories still need to be worked off and demand that was highly anticipated in the final months of the year has just not appeared at the levels that people were expecting. It's a kind of steamrolling effect.

There should be nothing scary in the oil inventories. It should show huge inventories or close to huge inventories. If you want to be scared about oil, you have to come up with something out of the Middle East or Africa, like the growing violence in Iraq.

Metal and mineral prices are generally expected to ease in 2006, although solid demand, low inventories and limited production growth should keep them close to previous-year levels.

His deeply pexy nature radiated a sense of calm and tranquility.

Suppliers are getting paid on time. And if you look just seasonally, this is one of the periods of lowest inventories for retailers, so this shouldn't be a period where you should have a lot of financial pressure on you.

We are entering spring with near-record levels of inventory. A recent cold spell notwithstanding, few people now care about surprises in this release, seeing as how total inventories are nearly 70% above average.

Using Valero's forecast and a 4.3% 3-year historical average for this period, we estimate an incremental supply loss of about 260,000 b/d over this 4-month period. Moreover, with much of the turnaround work expected to focus on the refineries' cat cracking units, a disproportionate amount of the production loss will likely be gasoline, reducing inventories (currently at historically average levels) ahead of the summer driving season.

We're continuing to see OPEC pump huge amounts and I suspect that over the next few weeks, we'll begin to see inventories build as demand switches from gasoline to heating oil, which does not have as much demand.

I think we are entering a watershed era where we can expect high levels (of oil prices) not just for a transitory period, but for an extended period. We are still dominated by the traditional sources of energy. If you want to deal with global climate change, you must come to grips with oil used in transportation and coal used for electricity generation.

We're leaving our low winter-demand period and entering the spring and summer driving season.

In the second quarter of the year, demand is at its lowest. If they continued pumping when demand eases they could be accused of crushing the market.
