- Management is bullish going forward, expecting crack spreads to be structurally higher with hydro-skimming margins in NW Europe setting the floor.
- Global product inventories are depleted and expected to stay below average through 2027, supporting continued strong margins.
- Refining fundamentals are supported by high heavy crude discounts, particularly Venezuelan, and product inventory tightness.

Global product inventories are expected to remain below the five-year average range through 2027 even if the current geopolitical conflicts end immediately, implying sustained tightness and elevated margins. — This suggests a prolonged period of high refining margins and continued pricing power for independent refiners.
근거
“Their data would suggest that if the conflict were to end today, global inventories remain below the five-year average range through 2027.”
The ethanol segment is benefiting from a production tax credit that adds ~$0.17/gallon in 2026 and ~$0.19/gallon through 2027-2029, nearly doubling mid-cycle margins, which is a significant structural tailwind not fully reflected in historical baseline. — This indicates strong pricing power and profitability for ethanol producers, potentially improving earnings for companies with significant exposure.
근거
“It's 14 cents year to date, probably 17 cents for the full year. And if you look into 27 through 29, It's probably $0.19 a gallon. You put that in perspective with a historical mid-cycle of $0.25, that says that you're almost doubling the”
RIN bank is expected to be exhausted between end of 2026 and mid-2027, which could cause RIN prices to spike further, materially impacting fuel prices and potentially leading to policy intervention. — RIN price volatility is a key swing factor for fuel costs and policies, impacting renewable fuel producers and obligated parties.

“the bank being hit somewhere between the end of this year and sometime middle of next year, given the pace we're at”
