DAVENPORT, FL (DTN) -- U.S. Gulf Coast (USGC) jet fuel basis strengthened
Monday (7/13) from a 15-month low and New York Harbor (NYH) jet fuel rose too
as ultra-low sulfur diesel (ULSD) futures rallied in NYMEX trading.
USGC jet fuel basis was heard traded at a 47cts discount to August NYMEX
ULSD futures, strengthening 6.50cts from Friday's assessment, according to DTN
Energy data.
NYH jet fuel basis was assessed at a 46cts discount to August NYMEX ULSD
futures, strengthening 4cts from Friday, according to DTN Energy data.
The rebound follows a July 8 selloff that took USGC jet fuel to its widest
discount in 15 months at 61.75cts, and the NYH jet fuel basis to its weakest
since March 28 at 55.50cts, DTN Energy data showed.
Front-month ULSD futures climbed more than 7.5% Monday as renewed
geopolitical tensions in the Middle East lifted crude oil and refined products
after the U.S. announced it would reimpose a full blockade on Iranian maritime
trade.
Despite the recent recovery, both USGC and NYH jet fuel basis remain well
below levels seen through much of June, indicating physical jet fuel values
have yet to fully recover from last week's sharp decline.
