What's driving recent gasoline weakness?
Report summary
October saw Brent FCC gross refining margins fall to -$0.32/bbl as a number of bearish factors created the perfect storm for gasoline weakness globally. Since the summer we've seen stubbornly high gasoline yields, growing stocks and weaker demand, pressurising gasoline economics. The clouds have now parted and weekly reported Brent FCC gross margins have recovered to above seasonal average levels. It's important to understand the cause of this recent weakness and if it will return.
