NORTH AMERCIA
— Oct. is beginning to look a lot like Apr. Delivered crude prices have returned to their spring highs, refinery margins are once again turning negative in Europe, and the risk of refinery run cuts is rising. Yet the forces driving the mkt are fundamentally different. In Apr., the problem was a shortage of crude. In Oct., it is the cost of moving it. [JPMorgan]
