  • High crude prices supported by

Low crude stock in early-Q1

Capital inflows into commodity to hedge against USD weakness

  • Refineries cut run in early-Q1 due

to high freight cost/negative hydro skimming margins

  • Robust demand in developing

countries due to subsidized retail price

  • Strong Chinese GO imports amid

lower domestic supply as a result

  • f capped retail price
  • Middle distillate inventory in mid-

Q1 and late winter pushed distillate spread to record high

  • High absolute FO price encouraged

to move away to cheaper coal and NG for power generation, pressuring FO crack to record low

  • The SABIC MEG was back to
  • peration in late Q1, relieving

feedstock cost for polyester and hence resuming downstream operation and adding more demand

  • Margin is still poor due to high

feedstock cost and high MX supply from TPX

  • 500 SN - HSFO spread in

Q1/08 gradually spiked up as a result of: – Tight supply availability

  • f lube base as refiners
