Goldman: Diesel prices set to stay high through 2027 as refineries struggle to meet demand
Goldman Sachs says tight refinery capacity could keep diesel prices elevated through 2027, with high margins needed to curb demand and rebuild inventories.
Why it matters
CL (Crude Oil (WTI)) · Why linked: Refinery tightness and elevated diesel prices signal continued strength in refined product margins and oil demand. Market context: Persistent diesel tightness and capacity constraints are expected to support crude oil prices through 2027.
BZ (Brent Crude Oil) · Why linked: Global refinery capacity issues impact international benchmark crude pricing. Market context: Tight global diesel markets should underpin Brent crude prices as refiners bid for feedstock.
XLE (Energy Select Sector SPDR Fund) · Why linked: Broad energy sector benefits from sustained high refining margins and elevated crude demand. Market context: Elevated refining margins through 2027 should support energy sector profitability and the ETF.
