Options-Driven Brent Prices: The Abdulaziz Squeeze... (April 17, 2023)

 

This Notes at the Margin has a slightly different character from past reports. It covers several topics individually. In doing so, it includes more figures and fewer words. Our five topics are as follows:

 

• Oil prices have increased steadily in April due to the hedging of options on June Brent futures.
• US gasoline stocks are much too high.
• The IMO programs no longer support diesel fuel prices and refiner margins.
• Uncle Joe's squeeze on crude oil prices continues, aided by aggressive refining crude stock management.
• Electric vehicle sales in the US seem to be following the market penetration trend of cell phones.
