Driving Discussions: US Gulf Coast Gasoline -Trade Flows and Fall Outlook
Geopolitics drives mineral markets. Ed Conwayjoins Argus to explore trade wars, rare earths, and if the West can rebuild critical mineral supply chains. The US Gulf Coast gasoline market has undergone notable shifts in 2026, driven by the lasting effects of the US-Iran conflict, changing domestic fuel movements and the seasonal transition to higher-RVP winter gasoline specifications. In this episode of Driving Discussions, Argus experts examine how the temporary Jones Act waiver reshaped Gulf Coast gasoline and blendstock flows, redirecting volumes from the Bahamas to direct shipments between US ports and increasing movements to both the West Coast and Atlantic Coast. The discussion also explores how tightening inventories, strong export demand and ongoing supply concerns have continued to support gasoline prices, even as the summer driving season comes to an end. As the market moves through the fall RVP transition, our specialists analyze evolving blending economics, changing demand for key gasoline components and the supply factors that market participants should watch in the months ahead. Key topics covered: How the US-Iran conflict and Jones Act waiver reshaped Gulf Coast gasoline and blendstock trade flows Why Florida and the Atlantic Coast have become key drivers of Gulf Coast gasoline demand The supply, inventory and export trends supporting gasoline prices despite seasonal demand declines How the fall transition to higher-RVP gasoline is changing blending economics and component demand What refiners, traders and market participants should monitor as regional supply balances evolve Tune in for expert analysis of the market dynamics shaping the US Gulf Coast gasoline sector and the outlook for pricing, trade flows and blending economics heading into the winter gasoline season.

From the Economist's Chair: Oil in Focus episode 4 - A Fork in the Road
Physical vs. paper disconnect. Crude, diesel and freight markets are signalling stress that futures prices aren't yet capturing — driven by Middle East pipeline disruptions and restricted flows through critical maritime chokepoints. Fragile recovery reversing. A tentative summer rebound in regional exports is losing ground as shipping attacks intensify and instability spreads along key routes. A genuine fork in the road. Either flows are restored and inventories rebuild gradually, or exports fall further — forcing rebalancing through demand destruction: price shocks first, then a broader economic slowdown.

Metal Movers: Ed Conway on the new mineral trade wars
Argus spot prices for the rare earth compound dysprosium oxide are currently ten times higher in the US than in China. Such a gap reflects a world where geopolitics is increasingly shaping commodity markets. But as broadcaster and author Ed Conway argues, the weaponisation of trade, for critical minerals and beyond, is as old as trade itself. In this episode, Ed joins Argus battery materials reporter Chris Welch to discuss his new book, Trade World: The Ties That Bound Our Past and Could Unravel Our Future, exploring whether the global trade is unravelling after all and whether Europe and the US can rebuild their critical minerals industries once again. Key topics include: Why China's rare earth export controls are not new Can Western carmakers build knowledge in partnerships with China? Why pricing power has shifted from carmakers to their suppliers How BYD resembles Henry Ford's vision for cars The impact of declining standardisation of traded goods on pricing
