Diesel Crack Spread Explodes To Record As Wall Street Warns Of Refined-Products “Perfect Storm”
Wall Street Warns About “Perfect Storm” Diesel Crunch:
- Goldman’s Daan Struyven Shows Global Diesel Exports Crashing
- Citi’s Anthony Yuen Warns: Global Diesel Inventories “Below 5YR Minimum“
- BofA’s Francisco Blanch Warns: “Diesel’s Perfect Summer Storm” Unfolding
- Jefferies’ Sam Burwell Warns: Hormuz Shock “Manifesting Itself In Cracks, Not Crude”
Brent briefly fell below $80 a barrel last week as prospects improved for an Iran-Oman deal to reopen the maritime chokepoint, before rebounding toward $90 as negotiations stalled this week.
By lunchtime Thursday, the front-month US diesel crack spread (HOCL1 on the Terminal) had exceeded the $97 level reached in mid-March, when the US-Iran conflict was just three weeks old, and was closing in on $100. That signals extreme tightness in diesel.
