Prompt Crude Spreads Strengthen Further

OIL

Crude prompt spreads continue to press higher as Gasoil spreads remain stable.

  • The front Brent spread has rallied from a low of 2.65$/bbl a week ago up to 4.08$/bbl while the 2-3 spreads has traded as high as 3.18$/bbl this morning.
  • The longer dated spreads remain more stable with economic concerns still hanging over the outright oil markets. However, the upside risk of further supply disruption remains with the EU sanctions on Russia taking effect at the end of the year.
  • Gasoil time spreads remain relatively unchanged with backwardation in refined product markets still steeper than in crude despite the rally in crude spreads.
  • Brent AUG 22 up 0.3% at 113.51$/bbl
  • WTI AUG 22 up 0.1% at 107.78$/bbl
