Monthly EMEA Chart Pack: July 2026

Brent has climbed over $20/bbl in under a month as Iran-US tensions sour and Houthi threats hit Saudi Red Sea shipping. Jay Maroo’s July Europe Chart Pack shows the rally is tightening diesel, naphtha and freight too.

Takeaways:

  • Brent’s $20/bbl rally: Brent has climbed over $20/bbl in under a month as Iran-US tensions soured and Red Sea threats escalated.
  • Naphtha E/W in crisis: E/W naphtha has blown out to $70/mt for August and above $100/mt in the prompt as AG supply is cut for a second time.
  • Diesel outmuscles gasoline: Diesel cracks are outperforming the rest of the barrel, with East and USGC arbs still not signalling relief for Europe.
  • CPC Blend flows disrupted: CPC Blend FOB premiums have surged after the consortium stopped accepting Kazakh crude, cutting off what was previously Far East refiners’ cheapest long haul option.
  • Freight still undervalued: TD3C sits at WS 350-400, below what longer Cape ballast legs could justify if Red Sea rerouting accelerates.
