GASOLINE: Gasoline Strength Emerging in the US and Asia: Sparta
GASOLINE
Gasoline market strength is emerging in the US and Asia, while the European market is being influenced by developments from both East and West, according to Sparta Commodities.
- Tightness in the East will be driven by low gasoline exports from China into 2025, raising premiums for semi-finished grades from India, Korea, and Taiwan.
- ARA exports looking East provide a healthy floor and some potential upside from current market levels.
- RBOB spreads are supported by falling PADD 1 inventories despite prices easing yesterday.
- EIA data showed PADD 1 gasoline stocks have fallen from above the seasonal average at the start of October to 8.7% below in the week to Nov. 22 and near 2022 and 2023 levels for this time of year.
