Week 31: July 30, 2017 -- August 5, 2017
Stock market (the Dow 30) closes at a record high for the eight day in a row; it is so incredible that when President Trump tweets about it, it is "censored" by Twitter because it is "politically sensitive." That's how good this week has been; that's how incredible the first six months of President Trump's presidency has been. That follows an incredible jobs report, including the jobless rate ticking down to 4.3%. Now, the pundits are concerned there may not be enough "Americans" to fill all the jobs being added by the economy.ObamaCare: for all intents and purposes, every health insurer, except Blue Cross/Blue Shield has exited the ObamaCare exchanges. And they are all hitting new highs on the stock market. Which begs the question: how much longer can BC/BS stick with ObamaCare?
WTI finally hit $50 but dropped back a bit. Pundits were sure that with Venezuela imploding, the US would be "short" heavy oil. I guess the pundits forgot about Canadian heavy oil. It appears Canadian oil imports have hit an all-time record. Meanwhile, despite "cuts" (wink, wink), OPEC imports are still at near record levels. Only 39 weeks until US "re-balances" crude oil stores.
Saudi: may have stopped the bleeding.
Milestone: China becomes the #1 importer of crude oil, a distinction held by the US .... like "forever." The US is now the #2 importer of crude oil. Already pundits are worried about US refiners. LOL. These pundits seem never to run out of things to worry about.
Record gasoline demand: it was not reported by the mainstream media, but it appears US gasoline demand hit an all-time record.
An aside: nuclear energy in the US is dead.
Joke of the week: residential electricity sales are falling; EIA is blaming the Bakken.
Energy gap between EU and US widens; four posts:
The Bakken finished a week with eleven more wells coming off the confidential list; they were all DUCs. Drilled, uncompleted.
