A Monday night explosion occurred at Valero Energy's Port Arthur, TX refinery; Jefferson County Sheriff's office said Tuesday there is no evidence the blast was a deliberate act. Monitor Valero for updates on damage, outage duration and throughput impact as any sustained disruption could tighten regional refined-product supply; no immediate indication of foul play reduces near-term risk of a broader market shock.
