The US diesel crack spread, the gap between ULSD futures and WTI crude, settled at $62.84 a barrel on Thursday, its highest since June 3, according to LSEG data. Refining economics remain firm even as the Iran war truce holds.
Strong diesel margins signal tight distillate supply, which tends to support diesel-linked freight and fuel costs for feed logistics, while crude-driven declines do not fully pass through to refined products.
After 105 past bullish macro events, DIESEL moved a median -0.4% over 5 sessions (45% higher; middle half -3.4% to +1.8%), and +1.2% over 20.
After 102 past neutral macro events, WTI moved a median -0.1% over 5 sessions (49% higher; middle half -3.3% to +2.5%), and +1.8% over 20.
