Gasoil Lowest Backwardation Since Jan

OIL

Crude oil back positive on the day as the front month Brent price continues to bounce between about 93$/bbl and 96$/bbl. Prompt time spreads are not really moving and maintaining the slight softening of the curve backwardation.

Backwardation in Gasoil has now fallen to the lowest since January showing a sign that the tightness in Europe’s diesel market is easing.

There is currently a similar curve backwardation in the forward curves for Brent, WTI and Gasoil.

  • Brent OCT 22 up 0.1% at 95.06$/bbl
  • WTI SEP 22 down 0% at 88.97$/bbl
  • Gasoil AUG 22 down -4% at 950.5$/mt
  • Brent OCT 22-NOV 22 down -0.1$/bbl at 1.64$/bbl
  • Brent DEC 22-DEC 23 down -0.36$/bbl at 7.14$/bbl
  • Gasoil AUG 22-SEP 22 down -5$/mt at 7.75$/mt
  • Gasoil DEC 22-DEC 23 down -14.5$/mt at 76.5$/mt
