Connecting to live crude markets and the official EIA jet-fuel series… Each crude card shows its live-provider status and quote time. The jet-fuel card shows the official EIA observation date.
How to read the spread: The premium compares the latest official Gulf Coast jet-fuel benchmark with the current WTI crude quote converted to a per-gallon basis. Because the two observations may carry different timestamps, use it as a directional market indicator rather than a synchronized tradable spread.
