## Prediction

Within 24 hours, markets are likely to further price in reduced Russian refined product output following confirmed damage at the Moscow refinery and repeat attacks on the Antipinsky plant, marginally widening European diesel and gasoline crack spreads. Traders will anticipate tighter regional supplies and potential reallocation of cargoes toward Europe, modestly supporting margins for European refiners. The ruble may face additional pressure as energy export revenue risks accumulate. Confirmation would be firmer ICE gasoil and gasoline cracks versus crude and more restrictive Russian export guidance; disconfirmation would be quick resumption reports and unchanged Russian export schedules.

## Drivers

- Satellite imagery confirming operational halt at the Moscow Oil Refinery
- Multiple Ukrainian drone strikes on Tyumen Antipinsky refinery
- Ongoing trend of Ukrainian deep strikes on Russian energy infrastructure
