   SECAUCUS, NJ (DTN) -- New York Harbor (NYH) refined products spot prices 
were mostly higher during the week ended July 24, led by ultra-low sulfur 
diesel (ULSD) as regional supply tightness outweighed gains in East Coast 
processing rates.

   ULSD posted the strongest weekly gain among regional refined products, 
rising 13.26cts, or 3.35%, week over week to average $4.0893 gallon. This was 
68.72% above the corresponding week of the previous year, according to DTN data.

   Jet fuel spot prices in the New York Harbor area also extended gains on the 
week, increasing 8.52cts, or 2.37%, to average $3.6835 gallon. Year over year, 
jet fuel remained up 65.11%.

   CBOB regular bucked the broader upward trend, ticking down 0.59cts, or 
0.18%, to average $3.2888 gallon on a weekly basis. Despite the minor drop, the 
gasoline grade remained 59.10% above the same period of the previous year.

   ULSD led the price advance even as distillate balances on the East Coast 
increased by 1.3 million bbl to 23.9 million bbl during the reference week, 
according to Energy Information Administration data. However, regional 
inventories of the product remained 2.3 million bbl below comparable year-ago 
levels.

   East Coast distillate imports increased by 48,000 bpd to 97,000 bpd from the 
previous week. That was also up from the 81,000 bpd imported during the same 
week of 2025.

   Refinery activity strengthened further across the region, with utilization 
rates rising to 86.9% of operable capacity from 85.0% the prior week and 81.4% 
a year ago. Crude oil inputs rose by 24,000 bpd to 804,000 bpd during the 
reference week, compared to 718,000 bpd recorded during the same period last 
year.
