Oct Jet Fuel Demand to Be Similar to Sep: BNEF

OIL PRODUCTS

October air travel and implied jet fuel demand is expected to be at similar levels to September, according to BNEF, in line with seasonal trends and an Autumn lull.

  • BNEF forecasts jet fuel demand to be 6.43m b/d in Oct, with USGC 54 jet fuel averaging a $40/b premium over WTI.
  • Jet fuel demand will decline in November and December, although levels are expected to nudge up during Christmas and New Year.
  • Strong jet fuel crack spreads may make the upcoming months expensive for both carriers and travellers. This results from underlying tightness in crude markets, and a structural shortage of jet fuel in some markets.
  • In China, both Chinese and international carriers are continuing to add flights to the region. Jet fuel consumption from international flights will average 0.13m b/d in December, 10.9% higher than September, according to BNEF.
