Stable Demand for Jet Fuel Offsets Some Macro Volatility
Minneapolis, MN | December 12, 2023 | By: Steve Sinos, Blue Lacy Advisors, LLC
Stable Demand for Jet Fuel Offsets Some Macro Volatility, but Prices Continue to be Highly Correlation to Gasoil.
Three Things
Asian air traffic has been stable, though not growing fast enough to outrun crude oil volatility. Flight activity continues to come in at about 80% of 2019’s peak, and global estimates of jet fuel demand look in line with activity.
This is further reflected in jet fuel flows. Despite routine seasonal lulls and lower supply because of maintenance, intra-regional movements appear to match activity.
Jet fuel prices have only recently shown comparative strength, but even a $3 rally in basis doesn’t offset gasoil’s volatility.
Traffic Numbers Appear Stable
Price activity seems to be in line with consumption activity. Jodi data, which doesn’t include major consumers like China, showed jet fuel demand continues to pace above 1mm bpd, even as it softens relative to the summer peak. The September numbers align with the average pace of the ten years ending 2019 and continue to trend higher than 2022.
