OIL PRODUCTS
Diesel cracks are ticking up today following a general uptrend since the middle of last week.
- US ULSD crack up 0.2$/bbl at 24.72$/bbl
- US gasoline crack down 0.5$/bbl at 26.6$/bbl
- US 321 crack down 0.3$/bbl at 25.97$/bbl
- ULSD JUN 24 down 0.4% at 2.48$/gal
- However, gasoline cracks are continuing their downward trend which began May 17. Seasonally weak demand levels coupled with a return of refineries from maintenance and the end of Russia’s export ban will add downward pressure.
- ExxonMobil’s Joliet refinery had a fire inside a unit on Saturday according to a company spokesperson cited by Bloomberg.
- Exxon Mobil will perform maintenance on a unit at its Fawley refinery, UK over the coming days according to its official account on X.
- Iraq’s state-owned Somo has issued its first gasoil export tender, likely due to added volumes from its new 140k b/d Karbala refinery, according to Argus.
