Edward Meir's week in review and thoughts on the week of June 29, 2026

Crude oil markets continued to sell off last week, with both contracts ending down by roughly 9%-10% on the week, or about $8-$9/barrel. There was a mixed showing in refined products; gasoline futures lost $0.03/gallon on the week, while nearby diesel futures ended up $0.08/gallon. US natural gas prices — largely insulated from what is going on in crude — ended the week pretty much unchanged, at just over $3.20.
