Version 0.13 (2023-12-20 02:59:31.929000)

updates: The tensions in the Red Sea have the potential to disrupt the stability of the diesel market. Diesel and distillate inventories are higher than last year due to slowing construction and manufacturing activity. Refiners have produced high levels of distillate volumes, leading to increased stockpiles. The supply-demand balance in distillate markets will depend on future manufacturing and construction activity. Geopolitical risks near the Red Sea could result in longer voyage lengths for shipments of petroleum products, causing chaos in oil and product markets. Diesel stocks have risen globally, narrowing the deficit to ten-year seasonal averages. Weak manufacturing is easing the diesel crunch. Economic activity in the U.S. manufacturing sector contracted in November. Germany's GDP is expected to decline in Q4 2023, potentially leading to a technical recession. Some oil and shipping companies are adjusting their operations to avoid the Red Sea route due to attacks on commercial vessels. Alternative routes would significantly increase voyage durations.

Version 0.11 (2023-12-19 10:01:17.837000)

updates: Oil prices stabilize as investors assess the potential impact of attacks by Yemen's Houthi militants on ships in the Red Sea. The attacks have disrupted maritime trade and forced companies to reroute vessels. Crude prices rose nearly 2% on fears of disruptions to trade via the Suez Canal, which accounts for about 15% of global shipping traffic. However, experts believe the actual effect on oil flows will be limited, as the attacks have not affected production. Oil major BP has temporarily halted transit through the Red Sea, and the crisis is broadening to include energy shipments. The United States and its allies are discussing a task force to protect Red Sea routes, which Iran has warned against. U.S. crude inventories are expected to decline by 2.2 million barrels.
