Fuel Marketer Market Update
Denton Cinquegrana, Chief Oil Analyst, OPIS, a Dow Jones Company
2026 Driving Season – Boom, or Bust?
Uncertainty over fuel markets continues – the yo-yo’ing of the news surrounding the War in Iran and the closing of the Strait of Hormuz is causing crude prices to bounce up and down by nerve-rattling amounts. And that is tricking down to gasoline, where wholesale prices are bouncing around while retail pump prices advance toward $5.00-gallon.
WELCOME TO SIGMA’S 2026 SUMMER DRIVING SEASON PREVIEW !
Confused about what’s going on? You’re not alone. That’s why attending a special SIGMA Summer 2026 Driving Season Preview on Monday on 6/1 is a must. We have a great speaker lined up to talk about the markets – Denton Cinquegrana, Chief Oil Analyst from OPIS. Denton is one of the industry’s leading authorities on market movement, and price outlook.
In this very spirited, must-attend session we’ll talk about
- Crude values – what to expect in the next 30 / 60 – days
- Gasoline – how high are retail prices likely to climb?
- Will suspending the Federal Gasoline Tax make any difference?
- U.S. Supply – any worrisome spots?
- The New Normal – what will that look like?
This is one SIGMA webinar you won’t want to miss.
