Market Turned on a DIME today

Ouch,  as I type the little ole market reared it's ugly head and wham flipped.  


Let's break it down as of 3:46 pm (closes in 10 minutes)


New York Harbour: gas up .018 diesel down .024 
Gulf Coast: gas down .0041 and diesel .0321 down
Group 3: gas .0043 down and diesel .0221 down 
Chicago: gas .066 and diesel .022 down 


If you are in Chicago Economics I realize the frustration but it's almost impossible to predict these type of moments.   Keep the juice moving and keep inventory turning.  Factor in a day like today if you received a load you need to get that baby out asap. So, price to move the product.  


We appreciate each and every one of our customers.  Keep doing the right thing and success will occur.  Follow the Golden Rule


Till Tomorrow,

Market Recap

Hello.   Well let's get right down to business --


Market Recap 


New York Harbour: gas up .0251 and diesel down .0540
Gulf Coast: gas down .0049 and diesel down .0474
Group 3: gas down .0099 and diesel down .0515 
Chicago: gas down .0074 and diesel down .0649


Diesel had a heavy down down.   I couldn't find any specific news for why diesel was trading down.  


Prices are really climbing at the pump.  Remember, your customers are feeling the pinch.  They will be agitated because of the price.  Service and a friendly smile are the best ways to combat consumer aggravation.    We have a better understanding but John Q Public does not.  It's not their fault.  We must stay united in our ability to treat each customer as a member of our family.  Remember, without them there is no us.  Duncan lives by that mantra.
