Crude Barely Moves
Jan 14th, 2009 | By Doug Casey | Category: Financial NewsIn the energy market on Tuesday, oil eked out a small gain, with crude for February delivery closing at $37.78/barrel, up 19 cents. February reformulated gasoline added 6.5 cents, to $1.1489/gallon.
Crude is picking up some momentum “on news that Saudi production cuts will exceed their quota in February,” said Phil Flynn, of Alaron Trading.
Flynn referred to remarks by Saudi Arabian Oil Minister Ali Naimi, who said that country will cut its February production by more than the target. Naimi left open the possibility that the Saudis will further cut production in March.
“We are working very hard to bring markets in balance,” Naimi said. “We will do whatever it takes to bring them back in balance.”
And the Energy Information Administration said yesterday in its monthly report that global oil consumption is projected to fall by 800,000 barrels per day in 2009. That’s 400,000 barrels more than the previous month’s forecast.
