Near Term Gasoil Spreads Near Recent Lows Despite French Strikes

OIL PRODUCTS

Near term Gasoil spreads are holding steady after easing back last week towards levels seen in early March despite ongoing strike disruption to French refineries and missing Russian imports.

  • Tight supplies have been eased by weak demand, lower than normal outages from the spring maintenance, strong imports flows and above normal inventories despite a seasonal decline in recent weeks. The prompt spread has fallen from a peak of 35$/mt on 22 Mar down to around 11.5$/mt today.
  • Longer dated spreads have seen some support since mid last week due to easing demand concerns from the banking sector uncertainty. The Jun23-Dec23 spread is up from a low of 18$/mt last week to around 26$/mt.
    • Gasoil APR 23 up 4.5% at 797.25$/mt
    • Gasoil APR 23-MAY 23 up 0.5$/mt at 11.5$/mt
    • Gasoil JUN 23-DEC 23 up 3.75$/mt at 26$/mt
    • Gasoil DEC 23-DEC 24 up 7.5$/mt at 33.25$/mt
