Americas Chart Pack: February
Introduction
The February 2026 Americas Chart Pack shows geopolitics and freight driving the market. US-Iran tensions are supporting Brent, Venezuelan heavy-sour flows are weighing on Atlantic Basin grades, and high tanker rates have restricted USGC arbitrage. WTI is competitive into Europe but not Asia, while product markets reflect regional imbalances and softer USGC fuel oil cracks.
'Geopolitics continues to remain at odds with physical oil fundamentals, with underlying shifts in product and crude leading to opportunities in the market'
