The underlying weakness in oil demand has not disappeared, but fears of a conflict escalation early in October drove oil prices above USD 80/bbl. As the fears receded, so did prices. The WOOD benchmark margin returned to above-average levels, boosted by better differentials. Higher oil prices squeezed petrochemicals margins, although methanol remained stable.

With benchmark refining margins falling to long-term average levels in September, we see little hope for a rebound in the short term. Oil prices are down, due to slowing demand growth, which flags further possible declines in margins. Energy costs remain significantly above pre-pandemic levels, putting European refiners at a disadvantage, while many of the usual crude oil supplies are not available, or are significantly more expensive. Both companies have made the most of recent windfalls, makin...

The rest of the indices were in the red: the Turkish ISE30 index was down 11.5% mom in EUR terms, followed by Greece (-3.2% mom), Romania (-2.6% mom) and Hungary (-1.2% mom; all in EUR terms).

Benchmark refining margins rose in July, by USD 0.7/bbl, to USD 9.5/bbl, after four straight months of decline remaining about USD 1.9/bbl higher than usual for the season. Better petrol cracks were the main driver of margins and we believe that this may be temporary. Petrochemicals margins remain under pressure.

Benchmark refining margins retreated again in June, by USD 1.9/bbl to USD 9.5/bbl, remaining about USD 1.4/bbl higher than is usual for the season. The decline was due to weaker petrol cracks, driven by increases in supply, we believe. There was little to report in petrochemicals, with margins mostly flat or down slightly.

Benchmark refining margins retreated again in May, by USD 1.0/bbl, to USD 11.4/bbl, remaining about USD 2.5/bbl higher than usual for the season. Both petrol cracks and diesel cracks were a little weaker than the previous month, while fuel oil was a little better. The petrochemicals market looks more balanced, but the very weak ethylene margins continue.
