OIL PRODUCTS: Europe’s Diesel Imports Seen at 4-Month low in Nov: Bloomberg
OIL PRODUCTS
Diesel imports into Europe from external suppliers are on track to drop in November to a four-month low, Bloomberg said.
- This comes just as the market shows signs of tightening.
- Gasoil and diesel shipments discharged in the EU and UK in November are seen around 1.17m b/d, according to Kpler, down 8% on the month.
- The decline follows lower flows from its top suppliers: Saudi Arabia, the US, and India, with the arbitrage not easily workable.
- The Singapore market has strengthened amid tighter availability and consistent buying, making it more profitable to send Indian and Middle East barrels east rather than West of Suez.
- Saudi’s Yasref refinery has also reduced shipments of diesel to Europe by 90k b/d, Kpler said.
- Shipments from the US are expected to be the lowest since June at 277k b/d amid falling USGC distillate stockpiles and seasonal refinery maintenance.
