How to interpret RBOB Gasoline positioning

What the contract represents

NYMEX RBOB Gasoline futures represent 42,000 gallons of reformulated gasoline blendstock.

Categories traders monitor

Managed Money positioning is interpreted alongside Producer/Merchant activity from refiners, merchants and commercial users.

Interpretation considerations

Driving-season demand, refinery outages, blending rules and crude-product spreads make gasoline distinct from crude oil.

Important limitations

Regional cash grades and refinery hedges are only partially represented, and reported intent is unavailable.
