OIL PRODUCTS
The Singapore gasoline crack is likely to remain constructive through March, Kpler forecasts.
- China-Singapore arbitrage incentives have seen a swift deterioration and Chinese gasoline exports are now sitting at a five-month low, Kpler added. This is tapering light distillates inventories in the wider APAC region.
- There is set to be a noticeable increase in planned refinery maintenance from March onwards, reaching its zenith in May. This will add further bullish notes from the supply side
- Regarding demand, stockpiling ahead of Eid should keep demand elevated, although Kpler continues to forecast flat imports into Indonesia,
- Kpler added that an outage at Kuwait’s Mina Al-Ahmadi that drove prompt buying in H2 Jan. has been fixed.
