According to Thackray’s 2010 Investors Guide, the period of seasonal strength for the Energy Sector ranges from February 25th through to May 9th. Seasonal influences are related to the transition period experienced by U.S. refiners when they convert their facilities to gasoline production for the summer driving season from heating oil production for the winter heating season. Inventory levels typically fall below average during this period.
