In the latest episode of the Trade with Conviction podcast, the team unpacks why government intervention, including SPR releases and possible demand controls, is only a partial fix, and why the deepest stress is showing up in products rather than crude.
Inside this episode:
- Tanker attacks and infrastructure damage across the Gulf, what it means for global supply
- Why the biggest SPR release in history still doesn’t plug the supply gap
- Diesel and jet markets hitting historic extremes
- Gasoline, naphtha and LPG spreads repricing fast across East-West flows
- Asian refiners and petrochemical plants facing feedstock shortages
- Freight dislocations and the strange behaviour of the physical crude market
- Why fuel oil may start competing for already scarce distillate molecules
