Gasoline Market Update : Epic Research Singapore

Gasoline supplies edged down by 100,000 barrels, while distillate stockpiles fell 1.6 million barrels last week, according to the EIA.

August gasoline RBQ6, +0.57%  fell 7 cents, or 4.9%, to $1.363 a gallon, while August heating oil HOQ6, +0.67%  declined by 6.1 cents, or 4.1%, to $1.411 a gallon.

July natural gas NGQ16, -0.90%  fell less than a penny, or 0.3%, to $2.777 per million British thermal units after tapping a high of $2.841.

The five-year average increase is 77 billion cubic feet, according to Williams. “We are still well above the five-year average of gas in storage but are converging toward the norm every week [with] high use by power companies and a little decline in production.”

Oil Market Update : Epic Research Singapore

Oil futures dropped by nearly 5% Thursday to settle at their lowest level in two months after U.S. government data showed a smaller-than-expected weekly decline in crude-oil inventories.

That, combined with ongoing worries about a potential slowdown in energy demand, pulled prices sharply lower even though the data also revealed a seventh-straight weekly fall for crude stockpiles and a sizable drop in daily domestic oil production.

Natural-gas futures, meanwhile, tracked oil’s move lower. They pulled back from an earlier rally fueled by a weekly climb in U.S. supplies that came in under market expectations and was roughly half the average increase for this time of year.

August West Texas Intermediate crude CLQ6, +0.89%  fell $2.29, or 4.8%, to settle at $45.14 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange, after climbing 1.8% a day earlier. Prices, which were trading at $47.85 before the supply data, saw their lowest finish since May 10, according to FactSet.

Brent crude LCOU6, +1.06% lost $2.40, or 4.9%, to $46.40 a barrel on London’s ICE Futures exchange, also ending at a two-month low.

Silver Market Update : Epic Research Singapore

Silver futures logged their largest weekly climb since 2013 Friday, hitting a nearly 22-month high as the U.S. dollar softened and investors continued to search for safety.

Precious metals have benefited from worries sparked by the U.K.’s decision to exit the European Union, dubbed Brexit. But precious metals have also seen somewhat of a pull back as appetite for risk lured buyers back into stocks over the past few sessions.

September silver SIU6, +6.62%  jumped 96.5 cents, or 5.2%, to settle at $19.588 an ounce. Prices haven’t settled at a level this high since mid-August 2014. Futures prices saw a 10.1% weekly gain—the largest since August 2013, according to FactSet.

Natural Gas Market Update : Epic Research Singapore

Natural-gas futures on Friday notched their highest close since May 2015 as traders bet that warmer weather will help to ease a glut of supplies in the U.S.

Natural Gas Market Update : Epic Research Singapore

Natural-gas futures, meanwhile, finished higher after the U.S. Energy Information Administration reported Thursday that supplies of the commodity rose 37 billion cubic feet for the week ended June 24.

August natural gas NGQ16, +0.55%  ended at $2.924 per million British thermal units, up 6.1 cents, or 2.1%. Prices are up 25.1% year to date, after surging over 49% for the second quarter.

Oil Market Update : Epic Research Singapore

Oil futures ended lower on Thursday, a day after posting their biggest single-session gain since April, but prices still logged their strongest quarterly gain since mid-2009.

Output disruptions in Canada due to wildfires in May and strong demand for gasoline have helped to draw down supplies of U.S. crude oil, which posted declines in each of the past six weeks. Traders, however, have been concerned about a potential slowdown in energy demand in the wake of the U.K.’s vote to leave the European Union, a.k.a. Brexit, and a likely recovery in global output levels.

August West Texas Intermediate crude CLQ6, +0.62%  fell $1.55, or 3.1%, to settle at $48.33 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange.

August Brent crude LCOQ6, -1.76% which expired at the settlement, fell 93 cents, or 1.8%, to $49.68 a barrel. Futures prices have gained 25.5% for the quarter, with the year-to-date gain at 33.3%.

Oil Market Update : Epic Research Singapore

Oil futures finished higher for the first time in three sessions on Tuesday, rebounding from a Brexit-fueled selloff that sent crude futures to a seven-week low on concerns of a slowdown in the global economy.

The threat of a union strike by Norwegian oil-and-gas workers and weakness in the U.S. dollar also provided support to prices.

Natural-gas prices, meanwhile, got a weather-related boost, with volatility tied to expiration of the July futures contracts, which rallied by more than 7%, helping to exacerbate the move.

August West Texas Intermediate crude CLQ6, +0.79%  climbed $1.52, or 3.3%, to settle at $47.85 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange, while August Brent crude LCOQ6, +0.64%  gained $1.42, or 3%, to $48.58 a barrel.
