Oil industry analysts say the diesel market has remained stable one month after the IMO mandate cut allowed sulfur in ship fuel to 0.5%, with no reports of spot shortages. Milder winter weather in parts of the US is also reducing demand for oil products.
Stable diesel availability despite new shipping demand suggests no supply-driven price spike, while milder weather lowers heating and diesel demand. The net effect is mild bearish pressure on diesel and marine fuel prices.
