Another Major Russian Refinery Up In Flames As Diesel Nears Historic Highs
On Wednesday Ukrainian forces struck a Wildberries facility deep inside of Russian territory for the second time this summer.

The city's mayor, Alexey Plakhotnikov, wrote on social media that "A massive fire at the Wildberries warehouse complex, smoke and smog are quickly spreading throughout the city."
He urged residents to shelter in place as a massive black cloud of smoke has reached high into sky, and enveloped the city and its environs.

Rohstoffausblick: Leere Lager, hohe Preise (SG)
|
|
|
Auch diesseits des Atlantiks ist die Lage angespannt. Zwar sind die Gasölvorräte in der Region Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Antwerpen (ARA) zuletzt drei Wochen in Folge gestiegen, was jedoch den niedrigen Pegelständen geschuldet sein dürfte, die den Abtransport der Ölvorräte behindern. Sollten die Vorräte vor der Heizsaison weiter sinken, weil der Mittlere Osten als wichtiger Exporteur noch länger ausfällt und sich die Raffinerieverarbeitung in Russland nicht erhöht, könnten die Produktpreise sogar noch weiter steigen.. --- Am Goldmarkt sind die steigenden Energiepreise derzeit kein Thema. Vielmehr ist Gold als sichere Anlage verstärkt gefragt, da die Sorgen um steigende Staatsschulden wieder zunehmen..

Diesel Crack Spread Madness Deepens As Jefferies Finds No Easy Exit From Russia's Refining Crisis
Refined-product markets have emerged as the epicenter of the global energy crisis, with commodity desks across Wall Street, including Goldman, Citi, Bank of America and Jefferies, warning that disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz and Ukraine's ongoing long-range drone attacks on Russian energy infrastructure are converging into a perfect storm for global fuel supplies.
As we close out this week, Monday marked a historic milestone, with Bloomberg's front-month US diesel crack spread (HOCL1 Index) topping $100 per barrel for the first time as the diesel shortage intensified and the spread landed on everyone's radar.
Four days before the HOCL1 Index breached the $100 mark, we cited notable Wall Street commodity desks that warned about the "perfect storm" brewing in refining markets:
