Diesel Trades at Record Premium to Crude Oil, With Upcoming Maintenance Offering Continued Support
Minneapolis, MN | September 19, 2023 | By: Steve Sinos, Blue Lacy Advisors, LLC
Diesel Prices Rally into Maintenance
Since bottoming at $2.23/gal in May, Prompt NYMEX ULSD (HO) has rallied ~$1.07 to end the week at $3.30, following crude in making 2023 highs. That puts it at about 65% of the post-invasion high of $5.135.
Reclaiming that high seems unlikely, especially considering the steep backwardation between the October/November and the December/January contracts. December and January are trading ~20 cents behind October and November. The most active options contract for the balance of the year this week was the December $3.40 call, attracting 500 contracts of length on Friday, offsetting a market that otherwise saw the liquidation of long delta positions.
