US & EU Diesel Stocks Well Below Normal

OIL PRODUCTS

US and European diesel stocks showing no signs of improving

  • Refiners historically favour gasoline production over the spring / summer months due to high driving season demand. This summer low gasoline demand and low diesel stocks have resulted in spreads favouring diesel over gasoline. The US gasoline crack is currently trading at 29.17$/bbl while the USLD crack spread is 47.2$/bbl.
  • Despite the better margins the stocks are so far not improving with supply struggling to meet demand. US inventories remain 25% below normal while EU stocks are as low as 42% below the 5-year average.
