Goldman Warns Nightmare Refining Crisis Could Prolong Diesel, Gas Price Pain Through 2027
Goldman energy analyst Nikhil Bhandari warned in a note on Monday that the global refining system is too stretched to support a full recovery in fuel demand while inventories rebuild. This suggests that fuel prices will remain elevated into next year.
Bhandari told clients that refining margins must remain elevated to restrain consumption and limit restocking, keeping demand within the industry's ability to supply diesel, gasoline and jet fuel.
On an ex-China basis, Bhandari expects 300,000 barrels a day of refining capacity additions in 2026 to be offset by 600,000 barrels a day of closures, leaving another year of net capacity losses.
Bhandari said if demand rebounds to 1% above 2025 levels while buyers attempt to replace half of this year's inventory draws, refinery utilization would have to reach unprecedented levels. This is a territory that he said, "We do not view as operationally r...

It's a demographic that leans hard to the right, but now feels let down by Trump and others in Washington. "It's his war that caused this, this war in Iran. We're not winning that war. And many farmers feel like we shouldn't be there," farmer John Boyd, Jr told CNN. Trump says the war in Iran is necessary to prevent the country from building a nuclear weapon.
