OIL
Heavier and more sulfurous crudes are fetching greater spot premiums in the Asian physical market as fuel oil cracks gain and diesel cracks slip.
- Middle Eastern varieties that have medium-density and higher sulfur such as Oman and Upper Zakum are now fetching bigger spot premiums than grades like Murban according to Bloomberg.
- OPEC+ cuts of heavier varieties have dented supplies while higher volumes of lighter grades by the US have pressed sweeter grades.
- Daily supplies of medium and heavy-sour crude into Asia have declined by 920,000 barrels y/yin the first three months according to Vortexa.
- Diesel has faced global demand weakness lately while fuel oil demand is ticking higher and Middle East power generation demand is set to support further.
- Abu Dhabi has been keeping heavier grades to process domestically along with Mexico while Venezuelan sanctions will likely see less heavy barrels for US refiners.
