US Adjust to Trade Shift on Higher Russian CPP Exports to Brazil

OIL PRODUCTS

Russian CPP exports to Brazil and potential buyers like Argentina and Uruguay are increasing as the US gasoil market in the region faces challenges according to Kpler.

  • Transatlantic trade surges as Russian middle distillates are redirect to Latin America and US refiners send record high USGC exports to Europe adding strain on regional gasoil prices amidst lengthening balances.
  • Mexico's Dos Bocas refinery startup and weak demand in Europe pose bearish pressures to US refiners in the second half of the year. Summer brings temporary relief but gasoil concerns put margins at risk.
  • Regional cracks are expected to stay in check as discounted Russian CPP barrels flow into Latin America as physical shortages become unlikely with strengthening trade.
  • US diesel crack spreads have this week ticked slightly higher up from 27.4$/bbl to over 29.1$/bbl.
