US refining margins mixed as refineries return from planned work

摘要

US refining margins for the week ended July 7 were mixed as gasoline demand remained strong and inventories low, an analysis from S&P Global Commodity Insights showed July 10. However, US refinery outages are beginning to taper off after reaching a seasonal low. As the heavier-than-normal schedule of planned maintenance draws to a close, supply of refined products is increasing, which is softening margins in some regions.
