Global refining shortage supports diesel, gasoline.
Tankers are avoiding moving gasoline and diesel through the Strait of Hormuz because refined product cargoes are sitting time bombs, while crude can still get out, so Iranian refined products are not reaching the market and product supply remains tight.

Apple iPhone event may be catalyst.
Apple's Wednesday iPhone event is expected to deliver its most consequential lineup in nearly a decade, including the first folding iPhone Ultra at around $2,400 and price hikes to Pro models, a potential catalyst for Apple.
