This was the third straight week that claims were below 800,000, and the four-week moving average fell to 787,000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><u>The Bureau of Labor Statistics reported on November 6 that a preliminary 638,000 net new jobs were added in October 2020. <\/u><\/strong>That\u2019s the sixth straight month with employment gains, but it\u2019s the smallest gain in those six months. &nbsp;Some economists think the slowdown in job gains is a sign that firms have, by and large, rehired the workers they need to meet current demand. Still, <strong><u>private sector job gains in October &#8211; 906,000 were more than most economists expected.<\/u><\/strong> Gains in October included 271,000 in leisure and hospitality (mostly restaurants); 104,000 retail workers; and 84,000 construction workers. Government employment fell by 268,000 and wasled by a loss of 147,000 temporary 2020 Census workers. In March and April, a net 22.2 million jobs were lost.

He will have little wiggle room in Congress without Republican support, and he will also have his hands full with multiple crises \u2013 the pandemic, unemployment and deep political division.&nbsp; <strong><u>We expect to see executive actions poking their head once again<\/u><\/strong> as former President Obama and President Trump used them liberally during their terms.&nbsp; It seems to us that we will rejoin the Paris Climate agreement<strong><u>; Keystone Pipeline could be in trouble yet again as well as the Dakota access pipeline.&nbsp; <\/u><\/strong> This could be a possible tailwind for crude by rail as shippers will have to find alternative ways to get their crude oil to market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">2) <strong><u>Petroleum by Rail &#8211;<\/u><\/strong>The four-week rolling average of petroleum carried on the largest North American railroads declined to 22,703 compared with 22,709 the prior week.&nbsp; <strong><u>CP shipments fell by 0.4% and CN volumes declined by 8%.&nbsp; <\/u><\/strong>In the U.S., the BN had the largest percentage increase at 3.1% while the NS had the largest percentage loss at -13%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">3) <strong><u>Army Corps of Engineers warns of DAPL review delay<\/u><\/strong> \u2013A new environmental review of DAPL Energy Transfers 570,000 barrels per day is seeing further headwinds as plans to double its capacity is causing the Army Corps to redo some aspects of its environmental review.&nbsp; U.S. government attorney James Maysonett said the review may take longer than anticipated.&nbsp; The pipeline was ordered to shut down pending the environmental review, but appealed by Energy Transfer and currently is in front of the courts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">4) <strong><u>Royal Dutch Shell said on Thursday of last week that it is closing its refinery in Convent, La., the first on the U.S. Gulf Coast to shut down since the coronavirus pandemic devastated worldwide demand<\/u><\/strong>.&nbsp; The shutdown will occur this month after Shell failed to find a buyer.&nbsp; The refinery is the ninth in North America targeted for a shutdown or to be idled since the pandemic, which has dealt a heavy blow to fuel demand globally. The United States is the world&#8217;s largest fuel consumer.&nbsp; <strong><u>Shell said it failed to find a buyer for the 211,000-bbl-per-day refinery <\/u><\/strong>after announcing its plans to sell it in July.&nbsp; Refining margins have been down substantially since the pandemic started. The gasoline refining margin is currently at $8.79\/bbl, below the threshold where most refiners can make a profit.<strong><u>&nbsp; Once the shutdown is complete, Shell will continue to try to divest the refinery, <\/u><\/strong>the company said.<strong><u> It expects to sell all but six (6) refineries and chemical plants globally <\/u><\/strong>and is considering closing facilities it cannot sell, the company told investors on its quarterly earnings call last week.&nbsp; The Shell closure follows a string of refineries that have either announced their closure or are planning on it including Philadelphia Energy Solutions at 335,000 b\/d. A 130,000 b\/d refinery in Newfoundland was closed earlier this year; Marathon Petroleum has shut two refineries with total capacity of about 190,000 b\/d; Phillips 66 shut a California plant; and a small Wyoming refinery was closed but converted to making renewable diesel.&nbsp; Get ready at some point to pay more for fuel at the pump as capacity continues to dwindle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">5) We are watching Several economic indicators:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">a) <strong><u>Rail cars in storage<\/u><\/strong> \u2013 continues to decline &#8211; As of November 1st, the total number of cars in storage continued the downtrend to 439,557 from 451,781 cars, representing a month over month decline of 12,224 rail cars.&nbsp; Please see PFL\u2019s storage report for further details to be released this morning.<br>b) <strong><u>U.S. Housing Starts<\/u><\/strong> &#8211; Total U.S. housing starts in September were a preliminary and seasonally adjusted annual rate of 1.42 million, up 1.9% over August 2020 and up 11.1% over September 2019.

That\u2019s their second straight month over 16 million and not far from the 16.8-16.9 million in January and February this year. Sales might have been higher the past couple of months if not for extremely tight inventory levels on many dealer lots.<br>d) <strong><u>Consumer Confidence<\/u><\/strong> &#8211; The Conference Board\u2019s index of consumer confidence index ticked slightly lower to 100.9 in October from 101.3 in September.&nbsp; The conference board\u2019s index collapsed with the onslaught of COVID and has been slowly climbing back.&nbsp; In August, consumer confidence was at 86.3 and pre-COVID was 132 to put it in perspective.
