Market commentary

The heating oil market this February saw an early jump in prices well before the traditional spring price increase that pivots around the gasoline market. 

Most of the increases in oil seemed to reflect the sentiment in the Middle East towards the Israel/Palestinian conflict. The related attacks on shipping have raised concerns over pricing.

Throw in the biggest east coast refinery being closed in late January and the market had concerns about supply. Word is that it has reopened so that factor may explain some of the big daily declines we’ve seen in the last week or two.

We’ve seen prices bounce up and down as traders consider the prospects for a cease fire grow or become elusive. The immediate hope for March would be a cease fire and safe nautical passage in the Middle East.

Our prices that have been in the $3.40-3.90 range for most of the heating season to date may head down to the lower end of the scale. After March as we go into spring time is always the time to expect higher prices. 

Most of us don’t require a late season delivery and oil dealers are often loath to over deliver this time of year to avoid complaints. We’ve also had a warm winter in terms of degree days so we’ve all been using a little less, although this year is looking a lot like last year in terms of cold and snow in New England.

    When we first purchased a house with oil heat, we did deep research and found Green Energy Consumers.
