Jet fuel market faces extreme supply tensions
Jet fuel prices have surged sharply due to supply tensions linked to Middle East disruptions. The spike reflects a shortage of refined products rather than crude oil, as indicated by soaring refining margins. Because the region is a major exporter of petroleum products and Europe depends heavily on imported jet fuel, any disruption in Gulf supply routes quickly drives prices higher.
