Asia Fuel Oil-Spot 380-cst premiums slip to two-week low; SG exports dip
SINGAPORE, Nov 7 (Reuters) -Asia's cash premiums for 380-cst high sulphur fuel oil (HSFO) slipped to a two-week low, as selling interest gained momentum against a backdrop of declining exports from key bunkering hub Singapore.
Trafigura was the major seller on the window, closing both deals at lower premiums from the previous trading session.
December refining margins for 380-cst HSFO FO380DUBCKMc1 meanwhile were little changed in the past three trading sessions, holding its ground at discounts of slightly below $7 per barrel.
A narrower backwardation between November and December swap markets weighed further on cash premiums, with declines mostly capped by the plentiful competitively priced bids on the window.
In very-low sulphur fuel oil (VLSFO) markets, deals were scant on the window but lower-priced sellers were aplenty and cash premiums slipped to below $10 per ton.
