"There were significant losses in the oil market last week, which should enable gas prices to move lower again," said Mark Jenkins, spokesman, AAA - The Auto Club Group. "The failure of two U.S. banks raised concerns of a global recession that could eventually hamper fuel demand."
The U.S. price of oil dropped 13% last week, for a total loss of 17% over two weeks. Friday’s settlement of $66.74 per barrel was the lowest since December 2021. Interestingly, the gasoline market did not take quite as big of a hit, likely because strong springtime demand coupled with refinery maintenance season and the switch to summer gasoline is serving as somewhat of a buoy. Regardless, gasoline futures dropped 24 cents through the past two weeks, which is an indicator that pump prices should move lower unless fundamentals rebound this week.
