Market commentary
On average, this is the time of year when heating oil prices tend to moderate. But that average can be old news if cold weather appears and causes an increase in demand, which tends to cause increases in price. And that’s what we are seeing now. In December and January so far, in the Northeast, we’re seeing temperatures about 23 percent colder than a year ago. In the last month prices have risen about 40 cents per gallon. But we are still about a dime less than a year ago.
According to the federal Energy Information Administration, stocks (i.e. inventory) of heating oil in the Northeast are higher than last year. So unless we get into deep freeze winter conditions, prices should not be rising much further.
