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...

OPAP is delivering results cementing its steady growth and low gearing qualities, coupled with a generous shareholder remuneration policy and an attractive valuation.
