McTeague said prices will fall another eight cents on Saturday, to 159.9 cents per litre, marking the lowest price since Feb. 27.
“Lemmings are taking the view there’s plenty of oil and gasoline out there and that demand is below the COVID lockdown period,” McTeague said.
He said the U.S. data that suggested this is “now being attacked, but the damage is done.”
“Watch for prices to snap back,” he said.
