U.S. refiners see record margins as the Iran war disrupts global oil flows. High export demand is lifting domestic fuel prices despite a fragile ceasefire.

Refining facilities along the United States Gulf Coast are currently recording their strongest profit margins in several years. This surge is primarily driven by significant disruptions to Middle Eastern oil flows resulting from the ongoing war involving Iran, which has redirected global demand toward American fuel exports. While refiners in Asia and Europe struggle with a decline in crude availability due to the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, their American counterparts are leveraging their relative independence from Middle Eastern feedstocks to capture international market share.
