Singapore mogas cracks lifted by diesel strength

Singapore mogas cracks lifted by diesel strength
Published10 SEP 26 - 13:02 Reading time  minutes
  • Sing 92 cracks hit $30/bbl for Sep and $23/bbl for Oct, which is a 10-year high.
  • The strength is less so a mogas story but carried by the incredible strength in diesel cracks, which is printing $72/bbl for the Sep contract.
  • The diesel-mogas spread is typically less than $20/bbl but has doubled in the recent month to more than $40/bbl.
  • This disconnect cannot happen for too long as the Atlantic is also very short of mogas, and mogas yields need to fight with diesel to make the balances work.
  • Thus if we see more supply coming out of China, the length is better expressed as a weaker E/W rather than a weaker crack.
