## Prediction

Within 24 hours, trading desks will increasingly reprice Atlantic Basin jet fuel flows around the new reality of Nigeria’s Dangote refinery supplying more jet fuel to Europe than the U.S., modestly compressing arbitrage margins for U.S. Gulf Coast exporters. European buyers will welcome diversification away from Russian and Middle Eastern risks, slightly reducing war and sanction premiums on aviation fuel. U.S. refiners face incremental competition, while African and Mediterranean hubs gain leverage as regional supply anchors. Confirmation would be visible in shipping fixtures showing sustained Nigerian–Europe jet flows and marginally softer U.S. Gulf Coast jet differentials; a sudden operational issue at Dangote would reverse this impact.

## Drivers

- June data: Dangote exported 466,000 tonnes of jet fuel to Europe, surpassing U.S. volumes
- European desire to diversify away from Russia and Middle East disruptions
- Structural shift toward new mega-refineries in emerging markets
