Oil refiners Valero and Marathon beat the market on every horizon after the 3-2-1 crack spread (the margin refiners earn turning crude into gasoline and diesel) hit a record high this week.
The driver is a global fuel shortage: Russia banned most diesel exports after drone strikes on its refineries, and the Iran war and tension around the Strait of Hormuz are choking Middle East supply.
