The Argus New York Harbor barge ULSD price
New York Harbor (NYH) is one of the largest clearing markets for diesel in the Atlantic basin. The price of a NYH barge is considered the bellwether of distillate demand in the US Northeast, and underpins several major futures contracts. Ultra low sulfur diesel (ULSD) loaded onto a barge typically makes its way to a truck-loading terminal, or into the Buckeye pipeline system for onward delivery to terminals in Long Island and upstate New York.
