  • Summary

  • This week on Sparta Market Outlook, we unpack the post-“Liberation Day” chaos: WTI is on sale, US shale producers are feeling the squeeze, and product cracks are painting a bullish picture—despite bearish forecasts. From Warsaw, Indiana (not Poland) to East Asia, we trace shifting trade flows, a naphtha comeback, and why margins might be lying to you. Is this the calm after the tariff storm—or just the eye of it?

    • Demand destruction vs. resilient margins
    • WTI’s pain zone explained
    • China’s crude buying blitz
    • LPG & naphtha in the spotlight
    • Gasoline’s slow seasonal grind
    • Plus: Why diesel might be the real economic truth-teller
