Diesel’s record refining premium is feeding core inflation, Apollo warns
Market context: CL: Apollo's warning links diesel refining premiums and energy costs to core inflation. Sustained refining margins can keep refined product prices elevated, with secondary effects on crude demand expectations. XLE: Energy sector pricing dynamics are central to the inflation thesis described by Apollo. Energy-linked inflation persistence can reinforce the energy sector's pricing power narrative. TLT: Persistent core inflation from energy prices reduces the likelihood of near-term Fed rate cuts. Inflationary pressure from energy costs generally weighs on long-duration Treasuries by keeping yields elevated.
