Market Insights

What our desk is watching across energy, freight and commodity markets, published for partners and counterparties.

Energy outlook

Sour crude differentials remain firm as Atlantic Basin refiners rebuild runs after turnaround season, while middle distillate cracks hold above five-year averages.

Freight and tonnage

VLCC availability east of Suez continues to tighten. We advise counterparties to fix delivery windows earlier in the month to avoid premium rates.

Commodities

Copper and manganese demand from battery and steel supply chains stays resilient; agricultural flows are more sensitive to currency and freight than to production this quarter.
