OIL: The FT with a nice summary of a matter that has been developing in recent
days: "The collapse of one of Singapore's biggest oil traders has raised the
prospect of a severe liquidity crunch in the city-state's under-pressure
commodities sector, threatening a wave of defaults and bankruptcies. Investors
and analysts warn banks are likely to cut their exposure to the industry after
heavily indebted oil trader Hin Leong Trading filed for bankruptcy protection.
The company has admitted to $800m in undisclosed losses and is the subject of a
police investigation. It is the second Singaporean commodities trader to run
into financial difficulties in recent weeks as the coronavirus pandemic pummels
crude oil demand and prices."
