FGE Expect Lower Run Rates in Asia Amid Weaker Margins
OIL
FGE has cut the forecast for crude processing rates in Asia by about 200kb/d in May and June according to a note from April 26.
- The cut is partly due to expectations of lower runs from exporters in South Korea and Taiwan amid weaker margins.
- “With the weakening product markets and deteriorating refining margins in recent weeks, the next big question in the oil market is where would we start to see run cuts?”
- The Singapore Gasoil to Dubai crack has fallen from a high of $28.6/bbl in February to the lowest since May 2023 around $14.0/bbl according to Bloomberg.
