JET FUEL: Persian Gulf Jet Fuel Premiums Hit 33-Month Low: Platts
JET FUEL
The recent strength in the Singapore regrade spread, coupled with sluggish European prices pushed the FOB Persian Gulf cash diff to a 33-month low Sep. 19, Platts said.
- The FOB Persian Gulf jet fuel cargoes cash diff was $1.60/b to Mean of Platts Arab Gulf jet fuel assessments, the lowest since Jan. 6, 2022.
- The decline came despite healthy demand for jet fuel in the UAE, with the arbitrage to Europe now shut. This means only UAE airports are pulling in Gulf jet fuel.
- The combination of heavy supply and lower demand is weighing down the European jet fuel market price, with demand following its seasonal decline.
- Heavy supply from East of Suez continues to add market length to Europe, with ARA jet fuel stocks also up 32% on the year.
