1. Highlights
Highlights
• Global product demand is seen rising by 2.38 mmb/d in 2023, practically unchanged from our last report.
• The plight of naphtha has gone from bad to worse with global ethylene prices exhibiting a much sharper downtrend than crude prices in recent weeks. Manufacturing PMIs
for May remain in contractionary territory in key areas including the European Union and China (NBS). An improvement does not look likely in the next six months.
• We have revised African gasoline demand lower for June to December by 70 kb/d relative to the last edition of this report due to surging retail prices in West Africa.
• The European gasoline balance for 2023 is 230 kb/d tighter than the 2015-2019 average. Around 90 kb/d of this comes from higher demand as consumers have switched
from diesel vehicles to gasoline-powered ones (and EVs) with the rest reflecting lower supplies due to refinery shutdowns. It is increasingly evident that European
consumers unable or unwilling to purchase EV cars are instead buying gasoline-fuelled vehicles.
• Rising air fleet efficiency is taking a toll on jet/kero demand. Flight activity will therefore have to rise well above pre-pandemic levels to bring demand back to 2019 levels.
• NWE and NYH diesel cracks are not expected to fall below $20/bbl on a monthly average basis in 2023 given the structurally higher costs of importing cargoes from more
distant non-Russian locations such as the Middle East and India.
• Ample Chinese product export quotas are acting as a ceiling to Singapore gasoline, diesel and jet/kero cracks – effectively tying Asia’s market more closely to the internal
Chinese market.
• VLSFO cracks are set to peak in summer and will then weaken as the availability of low sulphur residues such as LSSR and LSVGO increases from September as the pull
from the gasoline pool wanes. The start up of the third train of Al Zour in 3Q 2023 will further add to regional East of Suez VLSFO availability.
• An easing in Chinese buying of HSFO combined with higher Russian output should weigh on fuel oil prices. An expected end to Saudi Arabia’s additional voluntary supply
cuts in September will also improve the supply side, while demand from the Middle Eastern power generation sector wanes from September.

Naphtha: Cracks to remain subdued into winter; floor in NWE yet to be hit
• Revisions: Globally, naphtha supply for 2023 was increased by 75 kb/d, coming mainly
Implied* Global Naphtha S/D Balance, kb/d from the FSU and Asia, while global demand increased by 10 kb/d. This lengthened the
800 global balance by 65 kb/d relative to the last edition of this report.
• The latest sets of manufacturing PMIs are going from bad to worse. The official Chinese
400
PMI for May fell deeper into contractionary territory at 48.8. Similarly, the HCOB
Eurozone Manufacturing PMI slid by 1 point m-o-m to 44.8 in May, its lowest level since
0 the pandemic in 2020. Bankruptcy levels have also been soaring across the Eurozone in
recent quarters. Against this poor macroeconomic backdrop, a recovery seems unlikely
-400 before 2H 2024.
-800 • In a particularly bearish trend for the naphtha market, global ethylene prices have
Jan Apr Jul Oct been on a much sharper downtrend than crude prices in recent weeks. Since the
2015-19 Range 2015-19 Average 2022 2023 2024 start of May, Dubai crude prices have fallen 6% while NE Asian ethylene prices have
fallen 21%. It does not look much different in other regions either.
* with 2019 as base year as in FGE’s World Refining Outlook
• Hope that new capacities will boost naphtha demand is likely misplaced because the
Naphtha product cracks, $/bbl majority of new petchem plants is integrated with refineries and will produce their own
0 naphtha for petchem processing. Increased ethylene production, however, will
weigh on global ethylene prices keeping a lid on steam cracker runs.

• Relative to our last report, the NWE forward crack spread has shifted lower by around
$5/bbl and is now slightly lower than the levels for the summer we were projecting last
-15 month. Given recent data, however, we have also reduced our summer outlook and so
continue to remain more bearish than the forward curve for the rest of 2023. We have
-20 even heard rumours of run cuts at some landlocked European refiners due to brimming

• For Asia, we are more optimistic than the forward curve, especially at the prompt
Sing vs Dubai NWE vs Brent Market (Sing) Market (NWE) end as we do expect more naphtha to be blended into the gasoline pool. On the

Gasoline: West African demand takes a hit, much to the alarm of European
refiners
• Revisions: Relative to the last edition of this report, we lengthened our global 2H 2023
Implied* Global Gasoline S/D Balance, mmb/d gasoline balance by 60 kb/d, coming mostly from lower demand in West Africa.
1.0 • We have revised African gasoline demand lower for June to December by 70 kb/d
0.6 relative to the last edition of this report. This comes on the back of surging retail prices
across West Africa following the planned removal in end-June of a key Nigerian subsidy
0.2
on gasoline. The looming end of the Nigerian practice of swapping crude for gasoline
-0.2 imports may also trigger supply shortfalls as key suppliers may be wary of counterparty
risk. Angolan retail prices also doubled following a partial removal of subsidies there. A
-0.6
reduction in exports of EU gasoline to West Africa – also due to rising competition with
-1.0 Russia – is bad news for EU refiners as it will be difficult to find new buyers for low
Jan Apr Jul Oct quality gasoline and blendstocks, such as high-sulphur straight-run FCC gasoline.
2023 2015-19 Average 2022 2023 2024
• The European gasoline balance for 2023 is 230 kb/d tighter than the 2015-2019
* with 2019 as base year as in FGE’s World Refining Outlook average (see slide 30). Almost 90 kb/d of this comes from higher demand as consumers
Gasoline Product Cracks, $/bbl shun diesel vehicles in favour of gasoline-powered ones (and EVs). The balance also
40 tightened as some 140 kb/d of gasoline supplies were lost due to capacity shutdowns
since 2019.
30
• Increased blending of cheap naphtha into the gasoline pool as well as high FCC
20 utilisation, as indicated by persistently elevated inputs of secondary feedstocks in US
refineries, have tightened the US octane market, pushing 93 Gasoline to a $15/bbl
10
premium over 87 Gasoline on the USGC. We see further upside to octane spreads in
Market = Forward curve @ 28 June July and August, before they ease in September on the spec shift.

Jet/Kero: Airplane efficiency gains to keep demand lower than pre-
pandemic levels, despite commercial flight activity having rebounded
Implied* Global Jet/Kero S/D Balance, mmb/d
0.6
0.4 • Revisions: Relative to the last edition of this report, global jet/kero balances for 2H
2023 were tightened by 100 kb/d, coming largely from the supply side. The largest
0.2
downward revision was done to the FSU as we shifted some 50 kb/d of Russian jet
0.0 supply into diesel.
-0.2 • We have long been assuming a boost in air travel due to pent-up post pandemic
demand, and this has indeed been the case. For instance, international flights out of
-0.4
Europe have already exceeded 2019 levels by around 6%. This has contributed to
Jan Apr Jul Oct
global commercial flight activity returning to 2019 levels, despite international flights out

of China lagging pre-pandemic levels by over 20%.
* with 2019 as base year as in FGE’s World Refining Outlook
• But rising air fleet efficiencies are taking a toll on jet fuel demand, meaning that it will
Jet/Diesel Regrade (Jet-Diesel), $/bbl take more than a return of flight activity to pre-pandemic levels to bring demand
20 back to 2019 levels. Indeed, we expect December 2023 global jet/kero demand to lag
December 2019 demand by a whopping 730 kb/d, even though flight activity this
15
summer is already matching 2019 levels.
Market = Forward curve @ 28 June
10
• We continue to expect jet/kero cracks to mirror diesel cracks. With 2H 2023 jet
5 demand lagging 2019 levels by 800 kb/d on average, there is ample spare capacity to
shift more diesel into the jet fuel pool if needed. As a result, we expect regrades to
0
remain at a slight structural discount to diesel in all regions, at least on a monthly
-5 average basis. Further pressure on the regrade will likely come in 4Q, as lower gasoline
Jan-23 Mar-23 May-23 Jul-23 Sep-23 Nov-23 Jan-24 cracks will reduce the pull on kero from the naphtha pool. Forward curves showing a

Gasoil/Diesel: Atlantic Basin cracks protected by price floor; Asian cracks
capped by Chinese exports
Implied* Global Gasoil/Diesel S/D Balance, mmb/d • Revisions: Relative to the last edition of this report, we have tightened our gasoil/diesel
2.0 balances for 2H 2023 by 120 kb/d. We revised Middle Eastern supply down by around
1.5 120 kb/d as the start-up of the Jizan hydrocracker was delayed to end-2023. However,
1.0 this was partially offset by higher supplies from Russia due to both higher runs and yield
0.5 shifts from jet/kero into diesel. FSU supplies for 2H increased by around 90 kb/d. Global
0.0 demand for gasoil/diesel was also revised 50 kb/d higher for 2H.

• Diesel spot cracks spiked in June, temporarily bringing them back to $30/bbl in NWE.
This has been due to: 1) large refinery outages; 2) low Rhine water levels; 3) reduced
-1.5
June-loading Indian diesel exports due to a cyclone; 4) heavy Russian maintenance in
-2.0
May and June; and 5) liquidation of managed money short positions. Fundamentally, the
Jan Apr Jul Oct
aforementioned factors are all on the supply side, while demand for diesel remains
2015-19 Range 2015-19 Average 2022 2023 2024 poor amid the slowdown in manufacturing. Weak demand, combined with the short-term
* with 2019 as base year as in FGE’s World Refining Outlook nature of supply outages, is the key reason why we do not expect the high cracks to
persist and expect NWE cracks to fall back towards $20/bbl.

• While the Atlantic Basin diesel market is protected by a price floor that factors in
Market = Forward curve @ 28 June higher clean freight costs to arb in marginal barrels from India or further abroad, the
50 East of Suez market is penalised by these same freight costs. In a low demand
40
environment this works as a ceiling on Asian cracks, because if they get too high, the
arb closes. There is also a ceiling in place on Asian diesel cracks due to China: if
30 Asian cracks rise too quickly and outshine the domestic Chinese market, China will hike
20 exports given ample product export quotas.
10 • Therefore, our Asian diesel crack forecast remains well below the forward curve,
and we would rather see the risk to the forecast skewed to the downside. If refiners

Fuel Oil: Peak HSFO and VLSFO supply tightness now behind us
• Revisions: Relative to the last edition of this report, the April–July fuel oil balance was
Implied* Global Fuel Oil S/D Balance, mmb/d tightened by 100 kb/d, split almost equally between higher demand and lower supply.
1.0
• Global HSFO cracks are still riding high from the OPEC+ cuts which have reduced
0.5 supply at the margin, compounding the loss of some 300 kb/d that has been flowing to
China in recent months for use as a secondary feed. Fewer exports out of Russia
0.0 further tightened supplies, as did seasonally elevated secondary feedstock intake along
the USGC. Increased use of HSFO as a feedstock is reducing availability for end users.
-0.5 European cracks have gone through the roof as the region must pull in marginal barrels
from the Middle East, a region that is seeing peak summer HSFO burning demand.
-1.0
Jan Apr Jul Oct
• The tightness should continue in summer with the additional Saudi Arabian output cuts
in July (and August we think) adding further support. An easing will come in 4Q as: 1)
2015-19 Range 2015-19 Average 2022 2023 2024
Chinese interest in HSFO wanes given a new batch of crude import quotas and
* with 2019 as base year as in FGE’s World Refining Outlook shrinking fuel oil import quotas; flows of diluted bitumen to China will also pick up as the
dust settles on the mislabelling scandal; 2) HSFO demand from the Middle East ebbs
HSFO Product Cracks, $/bbl seasonally from September; and 3) more medium and heavy crude should enter the
0 market once the additional voluntary Saudi cuts are ended.
-10 • Therefore, we agree with the forward curves that peak HSFO cracks have already
been reached and the risk is now skewed to the downside – assuming we do not
-20 see further OPEC+ cuts.
-30 • Asian VLSFO strength is expected to follow gasoline cracks lower from September.
Market = Forward curve @ 28 June Current strength is driven by the supply-side following several months of weak straight-
-40 trun margins for sweet crude in Singapore. Inflows from the Atlantic Basin were
Jan-23 Mar-23 May-23 Jul-23 Sep-23 Nov-23 Jan-24 Mar-24
constrained by a persistently strong pre-summer and then summer gasoline season. We
Sing vs Dubai NWE vs Brent USGC vs WTI Source: expect a rapid fall in gasoline cracks once summer RVP constraints are lifted,

particularly given an abundance of cheap butane. Further supply-side pressure is
expected to stem from the start-up of the third train of the al Zour refinery in 3Q 2023.
