supply shortages boost margins

摘要

French diesel cargoes reached a six-month high against benchmark crude North Sea Dated of more than $19.30/bl early in the week, but ended just 26c/bl up at $18.54/bl (see graph). Maintenance at UK refneries including Fawley, Pem- broke and Stanlow, in addition to France’s Gronfreville and Donge and Germany’s Godorf, has reduced throughputs in northwest Europe by 900,000-1.2mn b/d.
