US Cash Crude-Grades fall on weakened refinery demand, narrow Brent-WTI spread
July 18 (Reuters) -Domestic U.S. crude grades fell on Thursday, dealers said, as refinery demand fell and the spread between global oil benchmark, Brent and WTI futures narrowed to its tightest point since October.
A narrower Brent-WTI spread discourages international purchases of U.S. grades, weighing on prices.
The Brent-WTI spread narrowed to as little as a $3.48 per barrel discount, discouraging international purchases of U.S. grades and weighing on prices.
Meanwhile, Exxon Mobil's XOM.N 251,800-barrel-per-day refinery in Joliet, Illinois, lost power during a tornado earlier this week and was still without power as of Thursday, a company spokesperson confirmed.
Industry monitor IIR told Reuters on Wednesday most of the refinery's units were expected to be down for a week with plans to restart over the upcoming weekend. The power outage took 16 units offline on Monday night, according to data from IIR.
