Marathon Petroleum Corporation, (NYSE:MPC), surged 2.01% to close at $102.18, hitting new 52-week high of $102.61, as crude prices were influenced by the gasoline inventory build.
Factors that led to the inventory build:
- There are specific factors that led to the gasoline inventory build. The inventory build was influenced by gasoline production and demand.
- Gasoline production reduced from ~9.17 million barrels per day, or MMbbls/d, to ~9.08 MMbbls/d last week. Production was slightly lower—contrast to last week. However, it was still ~3% higher than last year.
- According to the EIA (U.S. Energy Information Administration), the gasoline products supplied averaged 8.8 MMbbls/d over the last four weeks. This was 6.3% higher—contrast to same period last year.
- Gasoline demand reduced from ~9 MMbbls/d to ~8.4 MMbbls/d. A decrease in demand offset the slight decrease in production. This caused inventories to rise. Net changes in exports could also be another reason for the inventory build.
- An inventory build is bearish for gasoline prices. It will hurt the refineries’ margins—like Valero Energy (VLO), Phillips 66 (PSX), Marathon Energy (MPC), and Tesoro Corp. (TSO). Also, since most of these companies are part of the Energy Select Sector SPDR ETF (XLE), the energy-focused ETFs will also suffer.
