S&P Global and PitchBook, An In-Depth Comparison 2024

"...oil prices ended higher for a 5th week in a row and for the eighth week out of the past nine, as US oil supplies fell much more than was expected while the US assassination of Iran's top general and the commander of the Iraqi Popular Mobilization Forces sparked fears of a major conflict in the Persian Gulf and subsequent supply disruptions ...after rising 2.1% to $61.72 a barrel last week on reports of falling US crude supplies, the benchmark price of US light sweet crude for February delivery opened higher on Monday and rose to a three-month high at $62.34, buoyed by optimism over U.S.-China trade deal, but backed off those highs later in quiet trading in the day to finish 4 cents lower $61.68 a barrel, thus snapping a four-day winning streak...oil prices again drifted lower throughout the session on the final day of 2019 and lost another 62 cents, finishing at $61.06 per barrel, but still managed a gain of 34% on the year, its largest annual advance since 2016...oil prices started the new year higher on Thursday, as warming US-China trade relations eased demand concerns and rising tensions in the Middle East fueled worries about supply, but then faded to move between gains and losses later in the session under pressure from a stronger dollar and ended the day up just 12 cents at $61.18 a barrel...but oil prices surged much higher on Friday after reports that a US drone strike had killed Iran's top military commander in a strike at the Baghdad airport, with the international benchmark Brent jumping $3 and US crude finishing $1.87 higher at $63.05 a barrel, as the EIA also reported the largest drop in US crude supplies in 6 months...oil prices thus ended 2.2% higher on the week, and finished at their highest in more than 7 months... meanwhile, natural gas prices again finished lower, driven by milder weather and an abundance of supply...after trading of the contract for January natural gas expired at an all time low of $2.158 per mmBTU on record high temperatures across much of the US last week, the price of natural gas for February delivery fell 4.5 cents to it's own record closing low of $2.186 per mmBTU on Monday, as signs of sustained cold weather remained absent from the long-range forecasts...while natural gas prices managed to eke out a three-tenths of a cent gain to $2.189 per mmBTU on Tuesday, they still finished the year 26% lower, their largest annual percentage decline since 2014...the natural gas price slide resumed with the new year on Thursday, as both short and longer term forecasts indicated a lot of warmth for the heavily populated eastern half of the country, with the price of February gas falling 6.7 cents to another record low at $2.122 per mmBTU, as 'exceptionally bearish' weather kept pressure on prices...while prices moved more than 4 cents higher awaiting the storage report early on Friday, they slipped back to close with a gain of just eight-tenths of a cent at $2.130 per mmBTU, down 4.5% on the week, as the draw from natural gas inventories was below expectations.. the natural gas storage report for the week ending December 27th from the EIA indicated that the quantity of natural gas held in storage in the US decreased by 58 billion cubic feet to 3,192 billion cubic feet by the end of the week, which still left our gas supplies 484 billion cubic feet, or 17.9% higher than the 2,708 billion cubic feet that were in storage on December 27th of last year, but 38 billion cubic feet, or 1.2% below the five-year average of 3,230 billion cubic feet of natural gas that has been in storage as of the 27th of December in recent years....the 58 billion cubic feet that were withdrawn from US natural gas storage this week was somewhat below the average forecast for a 67 billion cubic feet withdrawal by analysts surveyed by S&P Global Platts, and was quite a bit less than the average 94 billion cubic feet of natural gas that have been pulled from natural gas storage during the fourth week of December over the past 5 years...." US oil supplies fall most in 6 mos on record exports; February natural gas hits a contract low; gas rigs at 37 month low
