The Barrel Price Disconnect WTI Crude Drops While Gas Stays High

from Energy Economics with Fexingo: Oil Prices, Renewables, and the Cost of Power · host Fexingo

Lucas and Luna dig into a weird disconnect in energy economics: WTI crude has fallen over ten percent in the last week, yet the national average for regular gasoline is barely budging at four forty-nine a gallon. They unpack the refining bottleneck, the role of renewable fuel blending mandates, and what the bond market is saying about inflation expectations. Along the way they look at why natural gas is up four percent this week and what that means for electricity pricing heading into summer. A focused, numbers-driven conversation about why lower crude doesn't always mean lower pump prices. #EnergyEconomics #OilPrices #GasPrices #WTI #Brent #NaturalGas #Refining #Inflation #CPI #BondMarket #BreakevenInflation #CleanEnergy #XLE #XOM #ENPH #FSLR #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
