United States product markets long-term outlook H2 2020
Report summary
Long-term outlook for the fundamentals of the United States oil products market. The second half of 2020 brought profound shifts to US refined product markets. While the demand destruction did not deepen from the lows seen in April, the recovery has been significantly prolonged compared to our H1 2020 outlook. The US supply landscape has permanently changed after a wide swath of announced closure in 2020. The two biggest market-shifting shutdowns were Marathon Martinez (160,000 b/d) in PADD 5 and Shell Convent (250,000 b/d) in PADD 3. The H2 forecast for non-refinery diesel supply now includes our latest views on renewable diesel consumption in North America for the forecast period.
