Prețurile motorinei ar putea rămâne ridicate până în 2027

Diesel prices may remain high until 2027 due to insufficient global refining capacity and companies rebuilding depleted stocks. Goldman Sachs emphasizes that elevated prices are necessary to curb demand amid high refining utilization. The bank predicts that the price spread between diesel and crude oil will average over $40 per barrel by 2027, more than double the usual level. Despite expectations of Brent crude stabilizing around $80 per barrel, a demand recovery could push refining rates to their highest in two decades. Analysts note that recent demand weakness does not indicate a permanent decline, as buyers are managing stocks and optimizing refining processes. Global stock recovery may take up to two years, with refining capacity outside China expected to contract further.
