OIL PRODUCTS: Singapore-Fujairah LSFO Price Spread Narrowest in 3 Months: Platts
OIL PRODUCTS
Weaker LSFO demand and ample stockpiles in Singapore due to competition from alternative locations in Malaysia and China have narrowed the grade’s spread vs Fujairah in November, Platts said.
- The price spread between Singapore delivered 0.5%S bunkers and the delivered grade into Fujairah was the narrowest in three months at $4/mt Nov. 22.
- Bunker suppliers said competition among downstream suppliers to capture deals has intensified over the past weeks amid limited spot interest.
- Inventories are expected to remain sufficient in the near term, with sources anticipating replenishment inflows of LSFO arbitrage cargoes towards the Singapore hub in the last week of November.
- In Fujairah, LSFO demand has slowed due to fewer voyages through the Red Sea amid the additional war-risk premium.
