Expectations for today’s propane inventory update is to see a 373,400-barrel increase.
There is optimism about a Brexit deal being reached and that adds something positive to the market in term of potential economic impact. But this is a very fluid situations and I am not sure that any of this will be clear if a when a deal gets done.
