US stimulus package lifts hopes

Brent prompt contract regained Monday’s losses to reach 56 $/b, despite a strengthening dollar. At the same time, diesel margins progressed higher in Europe and Asia.

Saudi Arabia will upgrade its on-road diesel specification to international standards this year, reorganizing product export flows.
