SQUAWK BOX
ExxonMobil CEO: There's a disconnect
between crude prices
and pump prices
The pump prices
have been heavily
influenced by crude prices,
because that's
the main driver of cost
when you have
no refinery constraints.
There's a disconnect today
because now we have
a refinery constraint.
prices are being established
by a supply and demand
of refining
petroleum products,
not crude.
That's one of the reasons
why we haven't seen crude
rise as quickly
as people have thought,
see product prices fall
as crude prices came down,
this disconnect
in the marketplace.
But until you get
flows established in
the marketplace,
I think
prices consistent
with what
we're now experiencing
for quite a while
yet, as you got to get
and then we've
the inventories
and get things moving.
So I wouldn't, I wouldn't
here in the short
term for that.
