Gasoline Spreads Up, Diesel Down but Trend Still Weak

OIL PRODUCTS

The downward correction trend for gasoline and diesel crack spreads is still in place despite some support at the end of last week. Both US and European spreads have pulled back significantly from June highs as high pump prices have impacted on demand. Spreads however remain well above start of the year levels with supply still tight.

  • European imports of US Guld Coast diesel will be the highest in 3 months at 304k tons according to ship tracking and Vortexa data from Bloomberg. This is the highest since April and data suggests August imports are likely to remain strong.
  • US 321 crack down -0.2$/bbl at 37.33$/bbl
  • US gasoline crack up 0.5$/bbl at 32.53$/bbl
  • US ULSD crack down -1.5$/bbl at 46.91$/bbl
  • Brent FCC margin down -0.3$/bbl at 10.33$/bbl
  • Gasoline-Brent up 0.7$/bbl at 23.17$/bbl
  • Gasoil-Brent down -1.3$/bbl at 30.44$/bbl
