Energy markets have been the largest drivers of the recent industrial economic boom. America has become the world’s largest producer of crude oil in the past year. The energy market impacts transportation in multiple ways from shipping of raw products and their derivatives to direct costs of hauling any other freight with the price of diesel. For this reason, we have added a slew of energy-based measures including the following:
Crude Oil First Purchase Price (CRUDPC) – Monthly first purchase price of crude oil measured in dollars per barrel
Crude Oil Production (CRUDPD) – Weekly production of crude oil measured by thousands of barrels per day
Distillate Fuel Oil Stocks (DFOINV) – Weekly stocks of distillate fuel oil measured by thousands of barrels
Distillate Fuel Oil Net Production (DFOPRD) – Weekly net production of refinery and blender of distillate fuel oil measured by thousands of barrels
Ethanol Stocks (ETHINV) – Weekly stocks of ethanol measured by thousands of barrels
Ethanol Production (ETHPRD) – Weekly production of ethanol measured by thousand barrels per day
Fuel Oil Price (FLOIL) – Monthly price of fuel oil measured in dollars per gallon
Gasoline Stocks (GASINV) – Weekly stocks of gasoline measured by thousands of barrels
Conventional Gasoline Net Production (GASNET) – Weekly net production of refinery and blender of conventional gasoline measured by thousands of barrels
Gasoline Retail Price (GASPRC) – Weekly retail price of gasoline measured by dollars per gallon
Kerosene Type Jet Fuel Stocks (JETINV) – Weekly stocks of kerosene type jet fuel measured by thousands of barrels
Kerosene Type Jet Fuel Production (JETPRD) – Weekly net production of refinery and blender of kerosene type jet fuel measured by thousands of barrels
Kerosene Stocks (KERINV) – Weekly stocks of kerosene measured by thousands of barrels
Electricity Price (POWER) – Monthly price of electricity measured by dollars per kilowatt hour
WTI Spot Crude Price (WTI) – Daily West Texas Intermediate crude spot price in dollars per barrel
Most of the indices are offered in the Department of Energy PADD region and U.S. granularities with some exceptions.
