Thursday, July 18, 2024, 8 PM: If you haven’t heard, that nasty storm earlier this week knocked out the refinery in Joliet, Illinois. While the plan is to get the complex running again this weekend, this loss of supply has led to some short-term jumps in wholesale markets in the Midwest. Retail is following, and prices jumped to $3.79 in Michigan today. Could we see another hike before Sunday? Yes, we could. If so, I think they’ll keep it under $4. Will we see that hike? No prediction. -EA
