Ladies and gentlemen, if you were wondering how the Russian refinery in Perm is doing, I hasten to inform you that it is burning. It is worth noting that Perm is about 1500 km in a straight line from the border with Ukraine. (translated)
Ladies and gentlemen, it is said that the USA wants to ban the export of diesel fuel for 90 days. Let's consider what that would mean. First: American refineries, thanks to which record levels of diesel are currently being exported (1.6 million barrels per day according to data from August), would face a sudden... (translated)
On one hand: a ban on the export of diesel from the USA would hit Europe hard and would have an impact on inflationary pressure. On the other hand: it would likely lead to a deep shock in the supply and prices of gasoline in the USA, which would probably determine the fate of not only the midterms. (translated)
Mr. Santa, thank you for the support, but out of the two of us, I am not the one who disappeared from the internet for a year when some affair started. Because you see, in life, like in the ring, you can lose or win a fight, but style also matters. Best regards! (translated)
❗️IMPORTANT❗️ According to Reuters, Saudi Arabia has resumed oil flow through the East-West pipeline. However, it is not clear what capacity the connection is operating at. It should also be noted that about 30% of the oil flow was going to Saudi refineries. (translated)
It's amazing that in the 21st century, in the middle of Europe, we literally have to wait for some tragedy to address a problem that is constantly pointed out in public debate. (translated)
Up to $6.51 per gallon of diesel on average at stations in the USA. Gasoline is almost 2 dollars cheaper, so it's also very expensive for American conditions. (translated)
Oh, and now - most likely Iranian - hackers are attacking the systems of tankers and methanol carriers. Three such attacks have already been identified. (translated)
"Supported by Iran, the Houthis engaged in hostilities against Saudi Arabia, including against civilian airports. This armed conflict has the potential for rapid escalation." "No, it has become tense in the Middle East." (translated)
The average price of diesel fuel in the USA has reached $6.44 per gallon. This is another consecutive record. For comparison: a year ago, the average price of diesel was $3.70 per gallon. (translated)
❗️IMPORTANT❗️ According to information from Bloomberg, the Saudis informed "at least two" customers in Europe that they will not receive raw material deliveries in October. (translated)
Ladies and gentlemen, the president of Russia announced the "temporary" takeover and nationalization of about 100 Leroy Merlin stores, which operated in the Russian market even after the full-scale invasion of Ukraine. And this reminded me of a scene from 3 years ago, from the moment of Prigozhin's coup. Here’s the footage at https://t.co/9w7Gb3A0D4 (translated)
Could Poland run out of coal? Apparently, the suggestion in this matter resulted in the dismissal of the president of Orlen Termika. Well, the president is gone, but the concerns remain. The question is, however: is it justified? Let's think about it. First of all: Poland has been a net importer of coal continuously since 2010. (translated)
❗️IMPORTANT❗️ According to my findings, the Saudis canceled September oil deliveries to Polish refineries. Orlen was supposed to react preventively by securing spot deliveries in September and October, among others from Norway, the United Kingdom, Algeria, Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan, and both Americas.

This is a map of the current energy crisis, which could push fuel prices to 10 PLN per liter, or even more. 🇸🇦Saudi Arabia - damage to the East-West pipeline, work on the connection halted, cancellation of exports to Europe through the Yanbu terminals, uncertain situation regarding https://t.co/0J2IWZ6PPo (translated)

So now it goes like this: - fuel prices are reaching a record high and considering the situation in Saudi Arabia, a 9 in front at gas stations in Poland is not at all unattainable; - the government clearly communicates that it has a solution (windfall tax + CPN); - there can be various accusations against the solution, but one... (translated)
"I guarantee that if the president signs the bill, we will immediately implement the next variant of the CPN after the signature. We will see how much funding is available. People should not have to pay for this fuel crisis, Poles are not responsible for this crisis," says Prime Minister Donald Tusk. (translated)
