## Prediction

In the next 24 hours, jet fuel and diesel cracks versus crude are likely to widen materially as traders react to Russia’s sudden ban on aviation fuel exports until 30 November. Airline and cargo operators—especially in Europe, Africa, and parts of Asia—will face higher spot prices and hedging costs, pressuring margins just as travel demand peaks. The move will also reinforce bullish sentiment in middle distillates, supporting Brent and Urals benchmarks. Confirmation would be sharp gains in jet fuel swaps and crack spreads, plus airline commentary on fuel cost pressures; denial would require other exporters quickly stepping in to cap spreads.

## Drivers

- Russian order halting all aviation fuel exports through Nov. 30
- Pre-existing tightness in middle distillate markets
- Russia’s significant share of exportable refined products
