High U.S. gasoline prices weigh on demand as consumers start to feel the pinch, says analyst

Surging gasoline prices in the U.S. are showing signs of impact on consumption, according to one risk analyst. “We’re starting to see some signs of demand destruction, particularly for gasoline, but it’s really just off some of the highs of last year, when gasoline prices were much cheaper,” said Rachel Ziemba, founder of Ziemba Insights, a research firm. Demand destruction refers to persistent high prices or tight supplies that eventually lead to a drop in demand, in this case, for energy products such as oil or gas.

Oil could hit $380 if Russia slashes output over price cap, J.P.Morgan says

Morgan said in a note dated July 1.

Oil prices are through the roof. Here’s why job numbers in the Alaska oil patch are not.

Oil prices are through the roof. Here’s why job numbers in the Alaska oil patch are not.

Oil prices in Alaska have surged to their highest levels in a decade. But job numbers in the oil and gas industry have barely budged upward after they crashed during the COVID-19 pandemic, even as other sectors of the economy enjoy a solid rebound. Industry observers in Alaska give several reasons for the tepid job growth in the oil patch. They say it mirrors a trend in the industry nationally, a slow recovery that breaks from past practice. Companies, increasingly flush with cash, aren’t investing in oil field activity like they once did when the good times rolled. They say companies are now more likely to question big, long-term projects, as investors raise concerns about the industry’s past performance and new regulations that could result from climate change policies.
