Price is falling but still going up.

It feels confusing, is the price going up or down?

In the Oil Patch, the monthly and annual price data are what matter. It's very much analogous to your income. Do you pay attention to what you earn on a daily basis, or a monthly and annual basis?

Of course, if one is an oil trader, daily price swings are very important.

In any event, as noted above, it's pretty clear that the actual, and to some extent perceived, decline in demand is currently outpacing the long term decline in net oil exports, probably aggravated by forced selling of oil positions. I expect this situation to change, probably as soon as next year, but time will tell.
