Our Latest News & Views at a Glance

TACenergy began more than 60 years ago as a refined fuel distributor with a “Passion for Service.” The daily Market Talk Update is an extension of that philosophy, sharing practical market perspective from people who participate in the physical fuel markets every day.

Market Talk contributors from the TACenergy supply and trading desks bring more than 70 years of combined experience buying, selling, supplying and managing risk in refined petroleum and renewable fuel markets across the United States. That experience spans both bulk and “below-the-rack” transactions, providing a unique perspective on the market activity and dynamics that ultimately influence the fuel prices businesses and consumers see locally every day.

TACenergy transacts the physical fuel products it writes about every day. TACenergy is not a trading house; it is a physical fuel distributor that utilizes trading as a risk-management tool. This distinction gives Market Talk contributors a practical view of the relationship between commodity markets, physical supply, logistics, regional conditions and the prices experienced in local markets.

While many larger trading organizations and refiners are limited in what they can or choose to communicate publicly about the industry, TACenergy believes sharing some of its market perspective can help industry participants better understand the forces affecting fuel markets, make more informed decisions and distinguish market fundamentals from common misconceptions found in news and social media.

That same Passion for Service continues to drive the research, analysis and market perspective behind each daily TACenergy Market Talk Update.
