Oil Prices Could Crash — Diesel Might Not with Rory Johnston and Mikkel Rosenvold
Real Vision • 2026-10-23 14:00:06 UTC
Rory Johnston predicts that Brent crude oil prices will likely finish the year above $100 a barrel, influenced by turmoil in the Middle East and China's rising import demand.
FULL
00:00–05:00
  • Rory Johnston predicts that Brent crude oil prices will likely finish the year above $100 a barrel, influenced by turmoil in the Middle East and China's rising import demand.
  • Johnston's earlier expectation for oil prices to reach $200 a barrel was based on the anticipated demand destruction necessary to balance the market, which ultimately did not occur.
  • China's crude oil imports have decreased by approximately 5.5 million barrels per day, representing about 45% of their pre-war levels, significantly altering global oil supply dynamics.
  • Johnston points out that the most substantial shift in oil market balances resulted from China's reduced imports, enabling other regions to recover more swiftly and at lower prices than expected.
  • Our interpretation: The notable decline in China's crude oil imports has generated a surplus in the global oil market, preventing prices from surging despite ongoing geopolitical tensions. This situation indicates that while energy prices may stay high due to regional instability, the overall demand destruction and supply adjustments could lead to stabilization in oil prices, influencing inflation expectations and monetary policy.
READ FULL ANALYSIS
FULL
05:00–10:00
  • Oil flow through the Strait of Hormuz peaked at approximately 17 million barrels per day, nearing pre-war levels, but this was a temporary spike.
  • Following this peak, Iran initiated a series of attacks on shipping in the Strait, causing oil flow to decline to around 12 to 14 million barrels per day.
  • Despite the increased oil flow, energy inflation remains elevated, primarily due to a significant refining capacity crisis impacting diesel prices.
  • At the end of September, diesel prices in New York Harbor reached an all-time high of nearly $230 per barrel equivalent, underscoring the severity of the diesel supply crisis.
  • Our interpretation: The ongoing geopolitical tensions and the recent attacks have created a precarious balance in oil supply, where despite higher flows, the refining crisis and elevated diesel prices suggest persistent inflationary pressures in energy markets.
FULL
10:00–15:00
  • The current crack spread for diesel has surged to $99.30 per barrel, significantly higher than the typical $20 per barrel in normal market conditions, and recently peaked above $120 per barrel.
  • Over the past month and a half, diesel prices have more than doubled compared to crude oil prices, raising questions about the underlying market dynamics.
  • While crude oil flows through the Strait of Hormuz have returned to pre-war levels, the supply of refined products, particularly diesel, remains at approximately half or less of the total refined products from the region.
  • Extensive damage to refineries across the Gulf, primarily due to drone and missile attacks, has resulted in a loss of diesel supply estimated between 700,000 and 1 million barrels per day.
  • Russia's invasion of Ukraine has caused significant disruptions in its refinery operations, with reports indicating that up to half of Russia's total refinery fleet is currently offline, adversely affecting global diesel supply.
  • Our interpretation: The divergence in diesel and crude oil pricing, alongside geopolitical disruptions, suggests a potential reallocation of market focus towards refined product supply constraints, which may influence inflationary pressures and impact the USD liquidity channel.
FULL
15:00–20:00
  • Diesel demand remains resilient compared to gasoline or jet fuel, as businesses continue shipping products while maintaining positive overall blended business margins.
  • Current diesel prices have surged above $200, while crude oil prices have not reached similar highs, indicating a significant market disconnect.
  • The White House is actively trying to reduce diesel prices ahead of the midterms but is encountering substantial challenges.
  • The diesel deal with Russia is expected to have minimal short-term impact on prices, with potential benefits likely taking six months to materialize.
  • The ongoing refinery crisis is driven by multiple factors, including the Iran War and Ukraine's targeting of Russian refineries, complicating the supply landscape.
  • Our interpretation: The divergence in diesel and crude oil pricing, alongside geopolitical disruptions, suggests a potential reallocation of market focus towards refined product supply constraints, which may influence inflationary pressures.
FULL
20:00–25:00
  • The speaker attributes approximately two-thirds of the current diesel crisis to the Iran War, with the remaining third to half linked to Ukrainian attacks on Russian refineries.
  • It is suggested that the global market could have absorbed the impact of Ukraine's attacks on Russian refineries without the additional strain from the Iran War, highlighting the challenges posed by multiple concurrent shocks.
  • President Trump announced a deal with President Putin aimed at increasing Russian diesel exports, which includes a six-month waiver of sanctions on Russian diesel; however, the anticipated volumes are minimal compared to the scale of the current crisis.
  • Currently, Russia's diesel exports have plummeted to just over 100,000 barrels per day, a significant decline from the typical 900,000 barrels per day, primarily due to damage from Ukrainian attacks on Russian refining capacity.
  • Any potential increase in Russian diesel supply is contingent upon Ukraine halting its attacks on Russian refineries, which have drastically limited Russia's export capabilities.
  • Our interpretation: The interplay between geopolitical tensions and supply disruptions is likely to keep diesel prices elevated, while the anticipated recovery in Russian diesel exports may not significantly alleviate current market pressures unless underlying conflicts are resolved.
FULL
25:00–30:00
  • Ukraine has resumed its bombardment of Russian refineries, suggesting that no significant increase in diesel supply from Russia is anticipated.
  • The asymmetry in refinery capabilities is stark, with Russia operating between 32 and 36 refineries compared to Ukraine's one semi-functional refinery, complicating any potential refinery exchange proposals.
  • Trump's deal with Putin to boost Russian diesel exports is expected to yield only about 125,000 barrels per day, a minimal contribution relative to the ongoing diesel crisis.
  • Even if Ukraine halts attacks on Russian refineries, the necessary repairs could take months, delaying any return to normal diesel supply levels.
  • Current inflation and rising energy prices may prompt a shift in government, as historical patterns indicate that corruption and inflation are significant factors in political change.
  • Our interpretation: The ongoing geopolitical tensions and energy supply disruptions are likely to maintain upward pressure on inflation, which could influence central bank policies and the USD liquidity channel as markets adjust to potential shifts in government and energy policy.
FULL
30:00–35:00
  • China reduced crude oil imports by approximately five and a half million barrels per day from the average quarter before the war to the lowest point in June and July, significantly affecting global oil demand.
  • This decline in China's seaborne import demand surpassed the total release of Strategic Petroleum Reserves (SPRs) from all IEA members combined.
  • The unprecedented cuts to refining runs in China accounted for over half of the reduction in crude oil imports, indicating a major shift in consumption patterns.
  • While China has been accumulating its Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR), estimates suggest that at most about one million barrels per day were involved in pre-building, leaving the exact volume debated.
  • Apparent diesel consumption in China, primarily for road freight, decreased by 18 to 20% year over year in June and July, reflecting a significant drop in demand for this essential fuel.
  • Our interpretation: The substantial reduction in China's crude oil imports and diesel consumption may lead to prolonged upward pressure on global oil prices, influencing market dynamics and central bank policies.
FULL
35:00–40:00
  • China experienced a nearly 20% year-over-year decline in apparent diesel demand during June and July.
  • Despite the drop in diesel demand, road freight activity in China increased by 3.5% year over year in the same period, suggesting underlying complexities in the market.
  • The speaker posits that strategic releases of crude oil and diesel may have occurred, indicating that previous estimates of Chinese diesel demand could have been inflated.
  • Approximately two-thirds of new vehicle sales in China are now electric vehicles (EVs), although they still account for only 10-15% of the total vehicle fleet.
  • The displacement of oil demand due to EVs in China has surged, with estimates rising from 250,000 barrels per day to over 600,000 barrels per day this year.
  • Our interpretation: The shift towards electric vehicles in China, combined with strategic stockpile releases, suggests a long-term bearish outlook for oil demand, which could exert sustained pressure on oil prices and influence inflation expectations.
FULL
40:00–45:00
  • China is actively diversifying its energy sources to reduce reliance on external fuels, including increasing electrification in its trucking fleet.
  • Gasoline demand in China is expected to decline first, with diesel demand following, which will impact the country's refining operations.
  • Current fuel shortages in countries like Indonesia reflect a form of demand destruction, where high prices and limited supply prevent consumers from purchasing fuel.
  • Extraordinary shipping rates are significantly increasing costs for fuel deliveries, complicating the supply situation for many economies, particularly in Asia.
  • Demand destruction in emerging economies may not be evident in wealthier nations, where consumers continue to purchase fuel despite high prices.
  • Our interpretation: The ongoing shifts in energy consumption patterns and supply chain challenges suggest a long-term bearish outlook for oil demand, potentially exerting sustained pressure on oil prices.
FULL
45:00–50:00
  • If the Iran War were to conclude on November 1st, the market would need to evaluate the damage and the oversupply situation in oil, which has been worsened by high prices suppressing demand.
  • US crude oil production has not peaked this year as previously anticipated, indicating that any surplus in the market may be larger next year.
  • Despite a potential surplus of crude oil, there is a notable deficiency in refining capacity to convert it into usable products, which could result in elevated diesel prices even if crude oil prices decline.
  • The surge in shipping rates has disrupted the global oil market, complicating the ability to arbitrage between regions with surplus and deficit.
  • While crude oil prices may trend down to the $60s by the end of next year, diesel prices could remain elevated due to persistent issues with refining capacity and ongoing geopolitical tensions.
  • Our interpretation: The combination of high diesel prices and insufficient refining capacity suggests that even with a potential drop in crude oil prices, the market may face sustained pressure on fuel costs.

  • Recent positive ETF inflows indicate a slight recovery in risk appetite across the markets.
  • While Bitcoin's long-term structure appears stable, Ethereum is exhibiting warning signs as its momentum diminishes against Bitcoin.
  • Our interpretation: The current market dynamics suggest that Bitcoin's stability may attract renewed investor interest, while Ethereum's weakening momentum could lead to a reassessment of risk in altcoin investments.
FULL
10:00–15:00
  • Bitcoin's recent bounce off the 10-week moving average aligns with technical indicators, suggesting the market is behaving as anticipated.
  • Many assets are showing positive momentum, hitting the end of their consolidation levels and resuming an uptrend.
  • The importance of establishing a higher high above the 87.5 level is emphasized to confirm the continuation of the upward trend.
  • The discussion includes the possibility of a four-year cycle structure in the crypto market, with a potential peak around 2028 or 2029 if it follows a left-translated cycle.
  • If the current cycle is left-translated, it could lead to a prolonged bear market lasting approximately three years, differing from previous cycles.
  • Our interpretation: The current market dynamics indicate cautious optimism as Bitcoin and other assets show signs of recovery, but the risk of a left-translated cycle could lead to extended bearish conditions, prompting a reevaluation of risk across crypto assets.
FULL
15:00–20:00
  • If historical patterns hold, the market could face a year-long bear phase, potentially peaking around mid-2029.
  • Current market dynamics are shaped by institutional buying behaviors, which differ significantly from retail trading patterns.
  • Altcoins are increasingly assessed based on their capacity to generate real-world cash flow and demonstrate business viability, rather than speculative hype.
  • While a traditional alt season may not occur, select altcoins with strong fundamentals could still perform well irrespective of Bitcoin's movements.
  • Our interpretation: The evolving market environment suggests a shift in altcoin valuation towards tangible business models and cash flow generation, potentially leading to varied performance between fundamentally sound altcoins and those lacking real utility.

FULL
00:00–05:00
  • France is experiencing significant civil unrest, resulting in widening credit spreads in the sovereign bond market.
  • France is now perceived as a weaker credit than Greece, reflecting a shift in market sentiment regarding credit risk in the Eurozone.
  • The European Central Bank is currently in a hiking cycle, which typically leads to increased scrutiny on credit and budget fundamentals.
  • Focus on credit fundamentals diminishes during periods of easy monetary policy but resurfaces when interest rates are raised.
  • While France appears distressed, it may become an attractive investment once the situation stabilizes.
  • Our interpretation: The unrest in France, combined with the ECB's tightening policy, is likely to create a risk-off environment, potentially leading to further credit spread widening across Europe and impacting investor sentiment.

  • Our interpretation: The current market dynamics suggest that despite weak economic indicators, investor sentiment may be driven by expectations of future growth, leading to potential mispricing in equities and currency valuations.
FULL
20:00–25:00
  • The political risk associated with Marine Le Pen's potential presidency in France is likely overstated, as the constraints of the European Union and the necessity for cooperation with the European Central Bank would limit her ability to implement significant changes.
  • Even if Marine Le Pen were to win the presidential election, the market's reaction may be overly pessimistic, given that historical patterns show her party often performs well in the first round but struggles in subsequent rounds.
  • The current political turmoil in France presents a potential buying opportunity, with the speaker suggesting that investing in French assets could be seen as 'free money' for those with sufficient capital and no leverage.
  • Market pricing already reflects the risks associated with the upcoming election in April, indicating that the potential for Le Pen's victory is largely accounted for, with estimates suggesting a 50% chance of her winning.
  • The fear surrounding Le Pen's presidency is exaggerated, as the political landscape in France is characterized by a Congress that struggles to pass legislation, similar to the situation in the U.S.
  • Our interpretation: The current dynamics in France suggest that while political risks are present, the market may be mispricing the potential impact of a Le Pen presidency, particularly in relation to the euro-area rate channel and its implications for French assets.
FULL
25:00–30:00

  • There are doubts regarding whether central banks will raise interest rates sufficiently to fully suppress economic activity, with 2027 potentially marking the end of the current cycle.
  • A notable divergence exists between weak economic indicators in the US and the strength of the dollar, with geopolitical factors, particularly concerning Iran, likely influencing this relationship.
  • Increased oil production from the region post-conflict could significantly alter the macroeconomic landscape.
  • Our interpretation: The interplay of ongoing geopolitical tensions, especially related to Iran, and the potential for continued rate hikes by central banks may strengthen the dollar while exerting downward pressure on commodities and equities, prompting investors to reevaluate risk exposure.
FULL
30:00–35:00
  • The speaker indicates that the dollar's movement may be misjudged against the euro, particularly as the perceived political risk in France is exaggerated.
  • Investment opportunities in France and AI are highlighted, with a reference to the Mischraul model in relation to AI.
  • Our interpretation: The potential mispricing of the dollar against the euro, coupled with the overstated risks in France, could create attractive entry points for investors in both French assets and AI sectors.

FULL
05:00–10:00
  • The big moving averages have yet to cross upward on the monthly time frame, indicating that significant crossovers are still a way off.
  • Despite a potential monthly close below 83k, the transition into a new bull market remains supported by three consecutive green monthly candles and positions above key moving averages.
  • The market is expected to experience corrections on the way to 200k, with the recent peak at the moving average potentially acting as resistance for the next two months.
  • The current cycle low is confirmed at month 44, which deviates from previous cycles that typically experienced longer durations of red mega trends.
  • A red monthly close, especially below the 78.6 level, would raise concerns about market strength, although current indicators remain positive.

  • Currently, altcoin dominance stands at 62 out of 100 among the top 100 cryptocurrencies, reflecting a growing interest and traction in the altcoin market.
  • The speaker highlights the necessity of selective investing in altcoins, noting that the burden of proof for these assets is significantly higher compared to Bitcoin.
  • Since 2018, the altcoin sector has failed to achieve a higher high against Bitcoin, suggesting a persistent trend of underperformance relative to Bitcoin.
  • The speaker cautions against purchasing altcoins based solely on their potential future value, advocating for a tactical investment strategy that prioritizes current market conditions and performance.
FULL
20:00–25:00
  • Many layer one tokens have underperformed against Bitcoin due to insufficient value accrual mechanisms for token holders.
  • Ethereum's value proposition has diminished since its transition to proof of stake, as the new fee structure benefits layer two solutions.
  • Holding Ethereum may still be justified by its potential role as a security layer for tokenized equities and the yield earned from staking.
  • Numerous layer one tokens, including Algorand and Cardano, lack compelling reasons for investors to hold them, resulting in poor performance against Bitcoin.
  • Exceptions like Ethereum and Solana may require substantial real-world adoption to validate their future value.
FULL
25:00–30:00
  • Institutional investors purchasing Bitcoin through ETFs face challenges in transferring profits to altcoins, contributing to Bitcoin's dominance remaining stable.
  • Currently, there are around 10 ETFs for altcoins, such as Solana and XRP, which is significantly fewer than the number available for Bitcoin.
  • Aggregate institutional holdings of Bitcoin have recently reached an all-time high, reflecting a resurgence in institutional interest and investment.
  • Last week marked the highest inflow of spot Bitcoin ETFs year-to-date, highlighting increasing institutional demand for Bitcoin.
  • For new investors, Bitcoin is recommended as the primary investment unless they can actively track altcoin performance against Bitcoin.
  • It is crucial for investors to compare altcoin performance to Bitcoin, particularly in bull markets, to avoid potential losses despite dollar gains.
  • Our interpretation: The current dynamics suggest that Bitcoin's dominance is reinforced by institutional investment patterns and ETF structures, indicating that any significant shift in altcoin performance relative to Bitcoin could impact overall market sentiment and liquidity in the crypto space.
FULL
30:00–35:00
  • Quant's price surged over 300% in the last two weeks, a rare market occurrence.
  • A partnership was formed for quant to facilitate tokenized settlement for banks, contributing to its price increase.
  • It remains uncertain whether the quant token will play a mechanical role in the settlement process, similar to the ambiguity surrounding XRP's use by banks.
  • Investors are cautioned against purchasing assets that have rapidly appreciated in value, as they may become exit liquidity for profit-takers.
FULL
35:00–40:00
  • Derive experienced a substantial rally recently but is now considered overextended, necessitating a period of consolidation.
  • The speaker highlights the risk of purchasing assets like Derive, which is currently priced at 36 cents, significantly above its 10-week moving average of 21 cents, indicating potential exit liquidity issues.
  • Many assets in the market are currently trading at inflated prices compared to their actual real-world usage and valuation, a consequence of the recent rally.
  • Deep is underperforming relative to the broader market, as it remains below its 200-day moving average cloud and is facing rejection at that level.
  • Investors are advised to exercise caution with underperforming assets like Deep, as it may be more prudent to cut losses and reallocate to stronger performers.
  • Our interpretation: The current market dynamics suggest that assets significantly above their moving averages may face downward pressure, while those lagging behind, like Deep, could continue to struggle unless there is a notable shift in market sentiment or performance metrics.
FULL
40:00–45:00

  • Near's current price stands at $5.39, significantly above its 10-week moving average of $2.76, suggesting a potential 50% decline to align with the moving average.
  • Buying assets like Near, which are substantially above their moving averages, poses a risk of becoming exit liquidity as profit-taking is likely to occur.
  • While a pullback may be necessary for Near, it is expected to remain a leading asset in the crypto space for the upcoming cycle.
  • Our interpretation: The current overvaluation of Near, coupled with its disconnect from on-chain activity, indicates that a correction may be imminent, which could impact investor sentiment and trading strategies in the broader crypto market.
FULL
45:00–50:00
  • A trade is influenced by Bitcoin's performance, making buy and sell decisions based on the Bitcoin chart.
  • Zcash shows a strong correlation with Bitcoin, as trade signals for buying and selling align well with Bitcoin's movements.
  • The speaker recommends using the 20-week moving average or the bull market support band to evaluate altcoins against Bitcoin, suggesting that a loss of upward trend may indicate a sell signal.
  • Pump has demonstrated strong performance, achieving a new higher high since August, indicating potential for continued growth.
