  • Sonangol has 14 November cargoes, based on the loading schedule and has yet to finalise term allocations, traders told Reuters.
  • In Nigeria, Bonny Light crude was still offered at around Brent plus $2/b, although potential buyers have room to negotiate given poor refining margins, Reuters said.
