According to Reuters analyst John Kemp, hedge funds are shifting their net long positions towards gasoline and away from US heating oil as hedge funds have become more bullish on the outlook for gasoline prices. Hedge funds are said to have flipped their position in US gasoline blendstock futures and options from a net short position of 5MM bbl at the end of July to a net long position of almost 22MM bbl as of Sept. 23. Hedge funds are said to have become more bullish on gasoline as stocks in the US have fallen by almost 17MM bbl since late-July, and stocks in the country now stand just 3% (6MM bbl) above the same period last year.
