AI take
Fuel oil's outsized move against a broad energy-and-industrial complex rally points to a supply-side or feedstock-specific driver rather than a uniform demand signal, since iron ore and caustic soda fell on the same night. The split matters for anyone tracking Chinese industrial demand: energy inputs and petrochemicals firmed while steelmaking and chemicals softened. Whether fuel oil's premium holds once the night session's liquidity thins, and whether the energy-versus-metals divergence persists into day trading, is the open question.
