Diesel Cracks Pull Back and Gasoline Up from Lowest Since 2020

OIL PRODUCTS

Diesel crack spreads pull back as US gasoline spreads edge up from the lowest since late 2020 seen earlier today. The front month US 321 crack spread fell to a low of nearly 22$/bbl today compared to a high of over 36$/bbl on 14 Sep and over 43$/bbl in mid August.

  • Diesel cracks are weighing the impact of the Russian fuel export ban against recent high Asian exports and ongoing economic demand concerns while global inventories remain below normal.
  • Gasoline cracks have trended lower since mid September on weak demand and building stocks after the end of the peak summer season. Weekly US gasoline demand however rose 0.9% from last week and was 1.0% above the average of the last four weeks according to GasBuddy data yesterday.
    • US 321 crack up 1.1$/bbl at 23.48$/bbl
    • US gasoline crack up 2.1$/bbl at 11.9$/bbl
    • US ULSD crack down -0.8$/bbl at 46.66$/bbl
