Where are the July numbers?

Excellent question. The long of the short of it is the EREB hasn't posted it yet, so it's not available. They usually take two business days into the new month, so it's not really late, it just seems so, and with the long weekend I'd expect it tomorrow.

So, once it's out I'll try to get to it as soon as possible. In the meantime, he's an interesting interview with U of C professor Phil Verleger, one of 'cwant' linked to a couple weeks ago, and even if you don't buy the guys prognostications he does give a good insight into the workings of the oil market.
