Marketplace Overview
The nationwide average price of self-serve regular gasoline
remains under $3.00 per gallon this week, but the recent
downward trend in fuel pricing will be tested in the days
ahead. The approach of the July 4th holiday and
the resulting increase in demand for gasoline, coupled with
lingering concern about the level of refinery output in the
United States has the potential to stall the decline in gas
prices.
Analysts will continue to focus on reports from the U.S.
Department of Energy (including one that is expected to be
issued today) in order to determine if more gasoline is
being stored and refineries are operating at a higher rate
of use.
The price of crude oil will also be closely tracked during
the days ahead as recent news reports have indicated that
some major oil companies may chose to withdraw completely
from producing in Venezuela.
