SEA Gasoil Stocks at 22.5M bbl, Depletion Lags Road Construction Cycle
Thailand’s refined products stocks stand at 22.5M bbl (Jul 2026), with gasoil at 9.91M bbl and jet fuel at 3.39M bbl — yet regional indices slumped (SET -2.16%, STI -2.21%), signaling weak demand realization. Asphalt futures fell -1.21% daily, confirming delayed road construction uptake. Inventory levels are elevated relative to seasonal expectations; drawdown pace is materially lagging.
