## Resource

Argus experts unpack how conflict, depleted stocks and diesel competition are reshaping aviation fuel markets. Renewed Middle East conflict is putting aviation fuel markets back under pressure, just as Europe enters a volatile summer with depleted jet stocks and growing competition from diesel. In this episode of SAF Insights, Louise Burke (SVP, Business Development, Biofuels) is joined by Amaar Khan (Jet Fuel Reporter) and Aidan Lea (Associate Editor, Sustainable Aviation Fuel) to examine how conventional jet and SAF markets are responding. They discuss how Europe has avoided jet supply shortages so far, why SAF pricing is behaving differently from 2025, and what renewed volatility across jet, diesel and renewable fuels could mean for airlines and suppliers in the second half of the year.
