The Brent-WTI spread is tight. There is no logistics pinch setting one contract off from the other. The weakness is the stockpile, not the route.
A tight spread means a regional story is not trading today. Reading Brent against WTI as a bottleneck trade reads a page that is not open.
Both contracts belong in the inventory note, not in a logistics note.
What the desk is watching
- Brent-WTI spread tight
