Brent climbs to $66 as OPEC extends cuts through March 2018

How this mood is scored ▾
Each day the model reads that day's news for the sector and asks, as someone who owns assets or makes their living in it: how am I feeling this month, and why? The month's mood is that running answer, tied to the specific events driving it (the story shown above). It leans on trusted, higher-impact reporting, and on the prior month when a month is quiet, so one loud headline can't swing it. The read updates daily through the month; once a month ends, its mood is locked. This year is read live from the news the pipeline actually collected (hover a bar for its story count). · last computed Jul 06, 2026

Hurricane Harvey disrupts Gulf Coast refineries, spikes gasoline prices eia.gov →

Hurricane Harvey caused a 34% drop in Gulf Coast refinery inputs, shutting down key facilities and disrupting fuel supply chains, including the Colonial Pipeline. With over half of U.S. refining capacity affected, gasoline prices surged nationally by 28 cents per gallon, the largest weekly increase since 2005, impacting domestic and international markets. The disruption highlights the region's critical role in U.S. petroleum storage and distribution, with lasting implications for fuel pricing and supply resilience.
