Trend Analysis:
The national average for a gallon of gasoline has remained steady over the past week at $3.44. Demand has been slowly building but is still behind 2023 levels. This, coupled with increasing supplies, has helped to stabilize pump prices. Today’s national average is 16 cents lower than a month ago and 13 cents less than a year ago.
At the close of Thursday’s formal trading session, West Texas Intermediate rose by 60 cents to settle at $82.17 a barrel. The EIA reports that crude oil inventories decreased by 2.5 million barrels from the previous week. Lower crude inventories and geopolitical tensions around the globe are contributing to higher crude prices.
