About this episode

This episode explores the recent changes in the U.S. propane market, focusing on storage levels and seasonal demand patterns.

The U.S. propane market typically follows predictable trends. With much of domestic demand occurring in the colder months, storage builds in the summer and is withdrawn in the winter. But since mid-April, storage levels have increased by only 1.2 MMbbl. Today, we explore what is going on and why.
