Gold Coast's last year of price cycles

Gold Coast prices jumped 5 times in the 365 days to Mon 9 Nov, and a cycle ran a median of 30 days from one jump to the next, the middle half from 9 to 72 days. The last 4 completed cycles rose a median 26.4 c/L from the low to the peak in about 10 days, then fell 7.3 c/L to the next low. Prices stayed within 2 c/L of the low for a median 4 days.

LowPeakRise (c/L)Cycle length

A cycle starts when the city average jumps at least 8 c/L above its low of the three days before, and at least 4 c/L more than the capitals' median moved, so a market-wide rise is not a cycle; it runs to the next such jump. Prices are the city daily average on those days.

Tuesday was the cheapest day in 8 of the last 11 full weeks to 8 Nov, about 2.3 c/L under that week's average once the overall price movement is removed. It is a guide only: where prices sit in the cycle matters more, so check the chart above.

How long is the Ethanol 10 price cycle in Gold Coast?

Prices rose a median 26.4 c/L from a low to the peak, over about 10 days, then fell 7.3 c/L to the next low. No two cycles are the same length, so read the dated chart rather than a weekday rule.

Where is Gold Coast's Ethanol 10 price cycle now?

E10 averaged 226.6 c/L on 9 Nov. That is 9.0 c/L below the 25 Sep high (45 days earlier). It is 17.6 c/L above the 14 Sep low. The last turn was a high, so prices are on the easing side of the cycle.

When will Ethanol 10 prices go down in Gold Coast?

What is the Ethanol 10 price cycle?

In the big capitals, retailers raise prices sharply over a day or two, then let them ease over the following weeks. The pattern comes from retail pricing, not from wholesale costs.
