US diesel crack spread (vs Brent) at $122/bbl today as the futures contract explodes into expiry

Not the price of a barrel of diesel, the CRACK SPREAD

Live look at how the diesel export ban rollout is going…

[American Petroleum Institute @APIenergy]

Refineries produce gasoline, diesel and jet fuel together, with limited flexibility to change the mix. Block diesel exports, and surplus fuel could fill storage, forcing refineries to process less crude. That means less of every fuel and more upward pressure on prices.

Indeed, this Russian war against Ukraine and against common sense must be ended. From the first year of the full-scale invasion, its consequences have been far-reaching: the loss of many lives, the destruction of cities and villages, food security, energy challenges, the extraordinary pace of technological development, including autonomous drones, and the rapid advancement of strike capabilities never seen before. Every new week of this war, let alone every new year, adds more and more problems. From the very first minute, Ukraine has sought peace. We have already made dozens of diplomatic proposals on how to end this war with dignity, guarantee security, and prevent new Russian invasions. Right now, there is a dialogue with President Trump and America. There are also ideas on the table for bringing peace closer, starting with strong de-escalation steps. Ukraine’s energy sector, critical infrastructure, and our food exports must stop being targets for Russia, and this will lead to matching de-escalation steps on our part. Solutions are possible. We are ready to work on this, and we will discuss it with our partners on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly in New York. I thank everyone who is helping! It will no longer be the case that only the country under attack suffers. The nature of war is now such that the aggressor will suffer as well. Technology makes this possible. The strength of countries’ leadership can – and must – deliver de-escalation, security, and peace. Thank you!

👀 Chicago 99% biodiesel (without attributes) vs. ultra low sulfur diesel

[Patrick De Haan @GasBuddyGuy]

this talk of “running out” of diesel is THE madness. the U.S. is sitting on 4.08 BILLION gallons of (<15ppm) distillates today, which is up from 4.05 billion a wk ago. just bc a few stations have issues does not mean a nationwide crisis is brewing. now sit down & relax plz.

Están matando a los hombres jóvenes de México, y nadie parece estar preocupado

Según el @INEGI_INFORMA la PRINCIPAL causa de muerte, la número UNO entre hombres de 25 a 44 años de edad es el HOMICIDIO

Es la segunda causa de muerte entre hombres de 15 a 24 años

Entre enero y marzo de este año mataron a 3,526 hombres de entre 15 y 44 años de edad

De los 5,680 homicidios totales en estos 3 meses, 4,977 eran hombres, es el 87%

De esos 4,977 el 70% eran hombres jóvenes, entre 15 y 44 años de edad

If Trump bans US diesel/gasoline exports:

1. Gulf coast diesel prices go down, and inventories start filling as millions of barrels look for a domestic home. But California which imports a lot of its gasoline, isnt saved by this.

2. International diesel / gasoline goes thru the roof. Mexico gets absolutely shattered as it gets over 1mbpd of Gulf coast products. They know need to look elsewhere, increasing atlantic tanker demand.

3. US storage fills as Americans cant consume the excess supply.

4. US Refiners cut their runs. That reduces WTI demand, resulting in a lower WTI and a bigger discount to Brent.

5. Foreign refiners print money. India for sure ramps up, Asian refiners follow. China likely ramps runs big time as cracks go through the roof. This increases demand for crude oil and Brent is bid up.

6. Then the US benefit eats itself: lower refinery runs + higher imported crude (to match refinery grades) and we’re back where we started.

So the strange end result could be:

Texas gets cheap fuel.
California doesn’t.
Mexico gets squeezed.
Global diesel goes vertical.
US refiners cut runs.
WTI weakens vs Brent.
Foreign refiners capture the margin.
And then Texas fuel prices go back up.

The US ends up exporting more raw crude while giving up the enormous margin from turning it into the products the world desperately needs.

It would effectively be a free subsidy of foreign refiners at the expense of US refiners.

It would be another short term solution which would leave the US worse off than where it started.

[Patrick De Haan @GasBuddyGuy]

speechless. at this point, we're talking $7/gal diesel becoming a possibility in the days ahead in more places, specifically Great Lakes- MI, IN, OH, IL (less so WI- lower taxes)

[Patrick De Haan @GasBuddyGuy]

buckle up. gas and diesel look set for a spike over the next 48 hours, hardest in parts of the nation's interior. i track this for a living and i'll be sharing real-time updates as it unfolds powered by GasBuddy data, looking at many different angles. ready to share w/ you all.

In the United States of America, billionaire stadium owners should not be able to silence artists because they speak out on political issues.

Today it is the genocide in Gaza. What's next?

If they can silence one artist, they can silence anyone.

[Pete Buttigieg @PeteButtigieg]

How can they justify leaving right now?

Diesel costs just hit an all-time high. Our nation is at war. The bond market is quivering. The urgency of AI regulation has come to a critical moment.

Congress should be working overtime. Instead Speaker Johnson sent them home. All to dodge one uncomfortable vote - much like his maneuvers last year to hold off the Epstein files.

You don't have to be a Democrat to find that disgraceful.

In less than seven weeks, Americans can change all this. 48 days to go.

Front month US soybean oil is now cheaper than wholesale diesel for the first time since 2019...

[Rory Johnston @Rory_Johnston]

>$100bn is a serious chunk of cash.

And that’s only compared to last year—given the prewar outlook for balances, fuel in 2026 was likely destined to be cheaper than 2025.

Until the war.
