CL Redux

Quote from owusu:

It doesn't seem to want to pull back, with the european markets closed and no sign of weakness, we might have to concede the day to the bulls.

it seems so :)
 
Adds size of ports in fourth paragraph.)

By Andres R. Martinez

March 2 (Bloomberg) -- Petroleos Mexicanos closed its largest and smallest oil export terminals in the Gulf of Mexico because of heavy rain and winds.

The terminals at the ports of Dos Bocas and Cayo Arcas are closed, Mexico’s Merchant Marine said today in a weather bulletin posted on its Web site.

Pemex, the second-largest supplier of oil to the U.S., exported 1.225 million barrels of crude a day in 2009. About 85 percent, or 1.086 million barrels, was sold to the U.S. last year, according to Pemex statistics. Canada is the U.S.’s largest supplier of crude.

Cayo Arcas is the Mexico City-based company’s largest export terminal, followed by Coatzacoalcos and Dos Bocas, respectively. Pemex exports oil from the Gulf of Mexico ports, which routinely close during hurricane season and in winter because of so-called north storms.

Pemex exported 958,798 barrels a day from Cayo Arcas; 156,514 barrels a day from Coatzacoalcos; and 99,196 barrels a day from Dos Bocas last year. Cayo Arcas handles Maya crude, a cheaper grade of heavy sour crude used by refineries in Texas. Coatzacoalcos is used to export Maya and Olmeca grade crudes.

“Sweet” and “sour” refer to the oil’s sulfur content, while “heavy,” “medium” and “light” refer to its density.

cl is moving in tandem with ES today, I wonder how long that will continue.

Speaking of which, what the hell triggered the rally for ES at 6:00 in the friggin' morning (that's New York time)? I didn't see any news to warrant a sudden spike.

I was thinking about setting up a batphone bp can call whenever he has a long or short call
"Press 1 for long, 2 for short" "Thank you for your input, please leave a msg after the beep" Then have it execute the opposite trade. Posistion size is determined by how long the msg is.:D
