Volatile Cracks as Crude Extends Gains

OIL

Another volatile day for the crack spreads ahead of contract expiries tonight

  • Gasoline spreads are generally following outright crude higher while diesel prices remain more subdued. The Brent Oct contract is trading higher than Sep, therefore closing the spread before the Sep contract rolls off tonight. The slower move in Sep has helped the Sep WTI-Brent spread close back in towards -9$/bbl having reached as wide as -11$/bbl earlier.
  • Brent OCT 22 up 4.3% at 106.17$/bbl
  • WTI SEP 22 up 5.1% at 101.35$/bbl
  • WTI-Brent up 1.31$/bbl at -9.22$/bbl
  • US gasoline crack up 0.1$/bbl at 34.17$/bbl
  • US ULSD crack down -1.4$/bbl at 53.5$/bbl
  • Gasoline-Brent up 0.9$/bbl at 22.62$/bbl
  • Gasoil-Brent down -0.2$/bbl at 36.78$/bbl
