Podcast: SPR releases vs supply outages: Can governments stop the oil shock?

Published12 MAR 26 - 13:14 Reading time  minutes

 

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
