Refiners are taking a hit on an after-the-fact downgrade by Macquarie, but surely they will like the latest EIA report showing a bigger-than-expected gain in oil (USO) inventories, and a far larger-than-expected decline in gasoline (UGA) stocks. A refinery-heavy ETF, PXE -1%.

WTI crude (USO -1.3%) slips back below $90/barrel following the unexpected surge in inventories. Gasoline (UGA -0.9%) stockpiles fell as well, but by less than expectations. Perhaps some relief at the pump is on the way?

Refiners have a big day as oil dropping to its low of the year while gasoline (UGA) rises has their profit margin widening even further. VLO +2.3%, TSO +3.5%, WNR +5.2%.

Hess' (HES) plan to exit oil refining, including closing the Port Reading, N.J., plant with a daily capacity of 70K barrels, is unlikely to spur imports of European gasoline into the U.S., as refiners in the U.S. and the Caribbean will replace lost capacity, analysts say. Danske Markets' Bjorn Roed sees no long-term arbitrage opening up that would stimulate increased Europe-U.S. product trade. RBOB +2% to $2.9336.

WTI crude gives up a chunk of sizable early gains - USO +0.3% - after an unexpected build in stocks last week. Product stock builds were double what was expected, but the gasoline ETF (UGA) still gains 1.4%.

Gasoline prices tumbled nearly $0.21 since October 19, according to the Lundberg Survey, the largest 2-week decline since late 2008. California dominates, with a $0.49 plunge reversing a big uptick in the wake of now-corrected refinery issues.

Average pump prices in California hit a record $4.614/gallon yesterday vs. $4.145 a week earlier following refinery and pipeline outages, with one downtown LA station even selling regular grade at $5.49/gallon. Prices might now have peaked, as Exxon's Torrance refinery resumed normal ops on Friday after experiencing power problems.

It seems like we can have higher stock prices or lower crude oil prices, but we can't have both. Crude continues a 6-week rally, moving to its highest price since spring at $94.24. The gasoline ETF: UGA +14.9% in the last month. Earlier, inventory data showed an unexpected draw on stocks.

Crude futures tumble 2.3% to $82.86. Natural gas (-0.9%) and gasoline (-1.3%) aren't looking too hot either. Disappointment from lack of Fed easing hints? Concerns over upcoming China data? Or just a general bearish sell-off?

WTI crude gives up its gains, now -0.4% to $103.17 following a stronger-than-expected build in inventories. Products saw unexpected drawdowns, but gasoline is still lower, UGA -1.2%.

"We caution against mistakenly categorizing speculation as a form of manipulation," says the CME, responding to the President's proposals this morning. "To use margin requirements to control cash prices is misplaced ... (this) would make the markets less efficient, less tied to fundamentals ... push hedgers out of the market ... (and) make oil more expensive for all consumers."

The President's plan to chill supposed oil manipulation: Increase by 6-fold the surveillance and enforcement staff at the CFTC. Increase spending on surveillance technology. Increase civil and criminal penalties for manipulation from $1M to $10M. Give the CFTC authority to increase margins (presumably now only the domain of the exchanges). Crude +1.4% to $104.84.

Bill Maurer: Too much work to get through 1158-1160. Topped out at 1161. Every time we start to get going, AAPL loses $1 in an instant and we fall back.
