Asian Demand Pulls European Gasoline East as Oil Benchmarks Rally

European gasoline shipments are increasingly being redirected toward Asian markets as Middle East supply disruptions tighten regional fuel availability, diverting flows that typically head to the U.S. and Atlantic Basin. The shift underscores heightened demand expectations for crude benchmarks such as Oil – Brent Crude (CM:BZ) and Oil – US Crude (CM:CL), while constrained refinery output may also influence Natural Gas (CM:NG) via interconnected fuel and power markets.

Over the past month, CM:CL has surged about 47%, and CM:BZ has climbed roughly 56%, moves consistent with supply risk being priced into futures curves, with both showing a 1-day technical signal of Buy and Buy, respectively. CM:NG is up around 1.8% over the same period, lagging oil’s rally and reflecting more localized fundamentals, while its 1-day technical signal is Sell, suggesting short-term downside risk despite modest monthly gains.
