Brent at 104.87 dollars as US diesel hits a record

Reuters in Houston said Brent’s settle was 104.87 dollars and WTI’s was 100.30 dollars. AAA put US pump diesel at 6.45 dollars a gallon, a record, and petrol around 4.47 dollars a gallon. IIR Energy expected a 371,000 barrel-a-day drop in US refining output in the coming week. Thursday Hormuz traffic was four cargo ships, under a 10-day mean of about 16.

Two settles, one Houston file

Reuters, from Houston, said Brent’s settle was 104.87 dollars and WTI’s was 100.30 dollars. Those are the file’s settles, not a second wire’s. Bloomberg, FT and WSJ did not, in the bounded check, match this same pair of prints on their own pages. The card stays on Reuters. The bounded search found no second newsroom; the card stays on this announcement.[1]

Pump prices and a refinery cut

AAA put US pump diesel at 6.45 dollars a gallon, a record, and petrol around 4.47 dollars a gallon. IIR Energy expected a 371,000 barrel-a-day drop in US refining output in the coming week. Both figures live in the same Reuters Houston dispatch. They are not Eigen Radar’s own survey. The bounded search found no second newsroom; the card stays on this announcement.[1]

Hormuz traffic and a Saudi line

Thursday traffic through Hormuz was four cargo ships, under a 10-day mean of about 16. Riyadh is trying to bring back about half the East-West line within days. Last week’s strike hit three pump sites, the same file said. That is Reuters’ count, not a navy log Eigen Radar inspected. The bounded search found no second newsroom; the card stays on this announcement.[1]
