US Diesel Crack Surpasses $100 a Barrel for the First Time, Farmers Suffer
Diesel Crack Spread Definition
The diesel crack spread is the pricing difference between a barrel of crude oil and the ultra-low sulfur diesel (ULSD) refined from it.
It represents the profit margin a refinery makes on producing diesel.
The term "crack" comes from cracking, the chemical refining process that uses heat and catalysts to break heavy, complex crude oil molecules into lighter, higher-value middle distillates like diesel and jet fuel.
Because diesel powers global commercial trucking, cargo ships, trains, and agricultural equipment, the diesel crack spread serves as a vital leading indicator for industrial economic activity, supply chain health, and looming transportation inflation.
