No way out: Trapped European crude sinks differentials
The European crude oil market is entering the final stretch of 2026 with a ballooning supply glut. Elevated freight is limiting the economics of moving barrels out of the region, while refineries are unable to absorb more feedstock. S&P Global Energy's Emma Kettley, associate director, price reporting, and reporters Ernest Puey and Jan Kedzior discuss the outlook for the regional market and the factors shaping the closing weeks of the year.

Can new middle distillates supply options offset geopolitical risk?
Asian middle distillate markets are entering the remainder of the fourth quarter with competing forces pulling the supply balance in different directions. Additional Chinese refined product export quotas could increase gasoil and jet fuel availability, while changing Russian diesel trade flows are reshaping global supply routes. At the same time, uncertainty surrounding the Strait of Hormuz continues to raise questions over Middle Eastern exports, freight costs and regional supply security. In this episode of the Platts Oil Markets Podcast, Jonathan Nonis, associate editorial director for Asian oil products and market editors Mei Huey and Rachelle Teo from the Asia and Middle East pricing team discuss the outlook for gasoil and jet fuel in the fourth quarter. They examine whether additional Chinese exports could offset potential supply disruptions, how changing Russian diesel flows are influencing global trade patterns and whether physical supply, freight or geopolitical risk will ultimately prove the dominant force shaping middle distillate markets through the remainder of the quarter.

US midterms: How much could change for oil markets?
Could a shift in Congress reshape oil policy or just intensify the scrutiny? The US midterm elections are just around the corner, with all 435 House seats and 35 Senate seats on the ballot Nov. 3. At stake is whether Republicans retain control of Congress or Democrats win one or both chambers and gain new leverage over the Trump administration's energy agenda. On the Oil Markets Podcast by S&P Global Energy, host Jeff Mower joins policy editors Kate Winston and Eamonn Brennan to explore what the US midterms could mean for sanctions, investment and fuel prices.

Bonus episode: India's upstream reforms aim to unlock the next phase of deepwater exploration
India is entering a pivotal phase in the development of its upstream oil and gas sector, with the government seeking to unlock the potential of deepwater and ultra-deepwater resources amid rising energy demand. Recent reforms have focused on improving access to acreage, strengthening fiscal and contractual terms, streamlining regulations, and reducing the risks associated with frontier exploration, while the Samudra Manthan initiative aims to expand subsurface data and introduce new cost-sharing measures for exploratory drilling. In this bonus episode of the Platts Oil Markets podcast, Asia Energy Editor Sambit Mohanty examines India's evolving upstream landscape with India's Secretary of the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas, Neeraj Mittal and Atul Arya, chief energy strategist at S&P Global Energy. The discussion throws light on what the reforms mean for international investors and operators, and the practical steps needed to accelerate the path from exploration and discovery to production.

Middle East supply concerns strengthen market for Russian oil
Prices for Russian crude strengthened in September, amid lower domestic production and Middle East supply concerns while Russia's refining sector continues to face major challenges as a result of Ukrainian attacks. Russia has extended its diesel export ban and the US is considering introducing similar restrictions, driving prices higher and raising the risk of diesel deficits in the coming months. Recent comments from Russian and US officials have underlined the importance of diesel in negotiations between Russia, the US and Ukraine aimed at securing an energy ceasefire ahead of the winter season. In this episode of the Platts Oil Markets podcast by S&P Global Energy, OPEC+ lead reporter Rosemary Griffin discusses the impact of refinery attacks, sanctions and a possible energy ceasefire on the Russian and global oil markets with senior price reporter Jan Kedzior, associate director, near-term oil markets Rebeka Foley, and senior reporter Elza Turner.
