Globlex Securities (GBS) indicated that the refining margin increased to a two-year high of $5 per barrel, owing to the global economy’s recovery following widespread administration of coronavirus vaccines and the gradual reopening of many cities worldwide. Spreads on gasoline increased 18% from the previous quarter to the present, diesel rose steadily 31%, and jet fuel rose about 71%, all of which contributed to the overall refining margin.
GBS, on the other hand, is optimistic about refinery-related stocks’ third-quarter earnings, as GRM regained above US$3 a barrel, close to breakeven levels of US$3 – US$4 a barrel. Additionally, oil prices remained stable at a record high of US$75 per barrel, allaying concerns about stockpile losses. GBS views TOP, SPRC, ESSO, and PTTGC positively.
