What This Indicator Measures
Daily CIF Mediterranean assessment of 10 ppm sulphur ULSD cargoes in USD/mt.
Gasoil 10ppm / ULSD / Diesel 10ppm: A physical price for middle-distillate fuel with a maximum sulphur content of 10 mg/kg (10 ppm), the grade used for road diesel in the EU and many other markets. Each series refers to one loading or delivery area, one delivery term and one parcel type (cargo or barge); these define separate markets and are kept on separate pages.
Specification · stated by the source for this series
- Maximum 10 ppm sulphur, from the series name.
- 10 ppm is the maximum sulphur content by mass; it is the road-diesel limit set by the EU Fuel Quality Directive.
- “ULSD”, “Diesel 10ppm” and “Gasoil 10ppm” in this catalogue all refer to 10 mg/kg sulphur product; other properties (cold-flow, density, cetane) follow the source’s assessment specification, which is not reproduced here.
Basis: CIF Med
- CIF (cost, insurance and freight): the price includes ocean freight and insurance to the named destination area; the difference to an FOB value therefore contains freight and insurance, not a trading margin.
- The Mediterranean basis covers cargo loadings (FOB Med, typically Italian ports) or deliveries (CIF Med) within the Mediterranean basin.
Unit: USD/mt
- USD/bbl values (Singapore, Arab Gulf, Fujairah) and USD/mt values (Europe, Japan naphtha) cannot be compared without a product-specific density conversion; the site does not convert them.
- Published assessments are a low–high range with a midpoint; charts and monthly statistics use the midpoint only.

Computed Summary
Statements below are calculated by CommodityScope from the loaded history only. Each one names its period and method; none explains why a value moved.
The latest assessment of $1413.00/mt on 4 Sep 2026 is down $31.25 (-2.2%) from the previous daily assessment (3 Sep 2026).
Method: Computed by CommodityScope as the difference between the two most recent loaded daily observations (1 calendar day apart).
It is 6.7% above the August 2026 average of $1323.95/mt, the most recent completed month with 20 daily observations.
Method: Arithmetic mean of the published daily midpoints in August 2026. Partial months are excluded from this comparison.
Over the loaded history (26 Jan 2026 – 4 Sep 2026), the highest assessment was $1570.00/mt on 7 Apr 2026 and the lowest was $688.25/mt on 26 Jan 2026.
Method: Minimum and maximum of the published midpoint over the loaded history (26 Jan 2026 – 4 Sep 2026, 110 observations). This is not an all-time record.
Price Changes and Historical Range
Published changes are copied from the source edition. Computed changes are CommodityScope calculations between loaded daily observations; the two are shown separately and may differ when an intermediate edition is not loaded.

What This CIF Med Price Represents
This page tracks the daily ulsd 10 ppm on a CIF Med basis, quoted in USD/mt. Figures are CommodityScope Indicators synthesized from loaded market editions. They are not a live quote and not a republication of a price-reporting agency table.
How to use this series
- Track the level and direction of one market over time using the chart, monthly averages and the recent-assessment table.
- Compare markets only after checking unit (bbl vs mt), delivery term (FOB vs CIF) and parcel type (cargo vs barge).
What it is not suitable for
- Retail pump prices: these are wholesale cargo/barge values before taxes, distribution and margins.
- Arbitrage calculations between basins: the FOB/CIF gap includes freight and insurance.
- Intraday trading: values are end-of-day assessments from loaded editions.
Compare With
Each comparison states why the series are related and whether the latest values can be subtracted directly (same unit, currency and assessment date). Where they cannot, the values are shown side by side without a difference.
| Series | Why compare | Latest | Difference (this − other) |
|---|---|---|---|
| ULSD 10ppm — Mediterranean FOB Med · USD/mt · daily | Same ULSD 10 ppm in the same region on FOB Med instead of CIF Med terms; the gap contains freight/insurance or barge-vs-cargo logistics, not quality.
