Monthly EMEA Chart Pack: September 2026

NWE refining margins have jumped sharply this month while Asian values slip, and the Saudi East-West pipeline attack is reshaping crude and freight flows across the barrel. Diesel remains the swing factor, with a US export ban threat now hanging over the market.

Key takeaways:

  • NWE-Asia margin gap widens: European refining margins are sharply up this month while SE Asia values have slipped lower.
  • HOGO nearing parity?: Diesel has dropped hard on US export ban talk, smashing though an initial test at the 17 cents per gallon level.
  • Libya loses 130kbd: Zawiya port crude exports have dried up after a pipeline closure, tightening supply for Med refiners.
  • VLCC bullish for a third month: TD3c and TD22 rates stay supported by genuine vessel supply tightness, not just geopolitical risk.
  • WTI/Brent set to weaken: A bullish Brent-linked crude view plus a possible US diesel export ban point to further downside in the spread.
