You talk too much, you worry me to death, you talk too much, you even worry my pet. You just talk too much.
Leave it to Goldman Sachs to talk up their position at a key technical moment in the world oil market. they jumped on the report from the Master Card advisors that showed that gasoline demand hit the highest level of the year. You see according to Goldman what we have seen lately is not demand destruction but demand restraint and oil will go back up to the highs before the end of the year. So don’t worry about all those airlines that went out of business. They did not go bankrupt they were just restrained. And Detroit, just go back to making those SUV’s because demand is just restrained! That’s great news! The death of demand has been greatly exaggerated! This could be the biggest comeback since Lazarus.
Yes, the Department of Energy supply report should a big drop in supply but remember it was not all demand related. Gasoline production fell averaging 9.0 million barrels a day. That is 200,000 barrels a day less than the week before. Refinery runs fell to 87.1 percent.
Oil also got a boost on word that Olmert was stepping down in Israel. He's under fire for corruption and this led traders to worry if a change in leadership would lead to missiles firing in Iran.
