TMC warns that new IMO rules mandating ultra-low-sulphur fuel in merchant shipping from 1 January 2020 could significantly raise road diesel prices. Refiners must produce about 4 million barrels per day of low-sulphur marine fuel, tightening capacity for ULSD.
UK diesel pump prices had reached a four-year high, averaging 134.6ppl.
Diverting refinery output to low-sulphur marine fuel tightens distillate supply and supports diesel prices ahead of the 2020 deadline, raising farm and feed transport costs.
Setelah 90 peristiwa kebijakan bullish sebelumnya, ULSD / Solar bergerak median +1,4% selama 5 sesi (66% lebih tinggi; separuh tengah -1,9% sampai +4,1%), dan +0,1% selama 20 sesi.
