Cracking yields drop across most of the US

摘要

New York-Cracking yields have been driven lower across the US over the past two weeks on a drop in refined product prices, although Midwest yields have held up rela- tive to other regions because of strength in Chicago jet fuel and gasoline prices, Platts data showed Thursday. The relatively stronger yields, combined with access to discounted crude supply, have bolstered Midwest refining margins, while mar- gins in other regions have drifted lower.
