Russian Diesel Price Falls Ahead of EU Ban

DIESEL

Russian diesel prices are falling to about a 25% discount to non-Russian supply ahead of the EU ban on seaborne Russian products from 5 Feb.

  • Russian diesel from the Baltic Sea was down to about 90$/bbl on Monday according to Bloomberg based on Argus data.
  • The discount of Russian diesel is increasing to compensate for higher transportation costs with supplies shipped further distances.
  • The EU and G7 are discussing plans to implement a proposed 100$/bbl cap on premium refined products like diesel and introduce a reduced 45$/bbl per barrel cap on discounted fuel products. The plan is expected to start on the same day as the EU ban on Feb 5.
