Industry bellwether Valero Energy shares surged Tuesday after reporting earnings that topped analyst estimates. The company and other U.S. refiners have benefitted from lower U.S. oil prices compared to the benchmark Brent crude. West Texas Intermediate is currently priced $17 a barrel lower than Brent crude. Lower oil prices have allowed refiners to reduce input costs and increase their margins. "The situation for U.S. refiners is not expected to change over the next 6-12 months," stated Lipow.
