Double Trouble!
US shoots down Iranian drone! North Sea window mania. And distillate seesaws
US shoots down Iranian drone! North Sea window mania. And distillate seesaws
Men with guns lead to... shooting! The US Navy shot down an Iranian drone using the undefeatable F35. Easy job, we just wonder as to the cost for this aerial adventure versus the cost of the commonplace Shahed. The Russians use these devices by the dozen daily in Ukraine. Naturally the North Sea caught fire! Who knew what when, we wonder. After barging into the Dubai window, Totsa’s going full steam ahead in the North Sea window, bidding a breadth of Midland cargoes: for 22-26, 24-28 Feb and 2-6 March. Today’s window turned into a real Totsa vs Gunvor grudge match as the latter offered 4 more prompt cargoes: for 15-19, 16-20, 19-23 and 21-25 Feb.
