Gasoline liftings starting to decline ahead of Hurricane Dorian
Hurricane Dorian continues to track off the coast of the U.S. Gasoline and diesel liftings at the terminals DTN is monitoring have started to decline (except for Savannah).
Gasoline liftings remain above normal; prices flatten out
Liftings remain above normal in both Florida terminals. Prices are stabilized and only slightly higher. Wholesale prices seem to have flattened out and are now only slightly higher than where they were before the atypical lifting began.
Hurricane Dorian expectancy triggers gasoline price spike
Opportunistic gasoline prices spiked Friday in advance of Hurricane Dorian reaching landfall as Florida residents filled their tanks and possibly headed inland. The Orlando and Jacksonville charts, produced by DTN, reflect regular gasoline daily terminal liftings along with the wt. average rack price (solid blue line). The dotted line is a linear regression trend line.
Assessing Hurricane Dorian scenarios for oil & gasoline
Gasoline and diesel markets appear to be in good shape in advance of Hurricane Dorian reaching Florida shores. DTN is monitoring daily terminal volumes and prices once Dorian arrives and moves out.
