@pingu4ty@Aussie_Dad5 53.7 cents of excise tax per litre ex gst for diesel (59.07 inc gst) plus another 10-20 cents of gst on the other pricing components.
@mineralstocks Actually crack spreads for diesel are far higher than what is shown above. Singapore gasoil quote was 290/bbl tonight (this is what all fuel in the Asian region is bought and sold on) and with Brent at 112 currently cracks are 178/bbl currently. lower for jet and gasoline.
@Tbone_Flusher@mineralstocks The problems with the NYMEX Singapore gasoil platts (shown above) is that it’s at 200/bbl but the actual Platts Singapore gasoil is at 290/bbl. This means actual crack spreads in the Asian region are far higher than what is modeled above.
@Alpaca_Capital@Cyclops_Trader Hedge would be “perfect” because you can trade the derivative (gasoil 10ppm) which is the marker used for all imported fuel in AUS. Imperfect parts of the method-you can’t hedge the margins put on by domestics suppliers and variance in actual vs forecasted usage needs adjusting
@Alpaca_Capital@Cyclops_Trader Hedging costs pre-war were anywhere between 30cents/barrel and 1$/barrel if purchased through the OTC market. When converted to AUD/Litre is roughly 0.3 to 1 cent per litre (AUD). Very cheap risk management in my opinion and lots of companies I think were not prudent enough.
