Asia Fuel Oil-VLSFO premium treks higher but capped by supply uptick
SINGAPORE, Oct 22 (Reuters) -Spot premium for 0.5% low sulphur fuel oil (VLSFO) continued to trek higher on Tuesday amid firmer-priced bids, though gains were capped by a recovery in broader supplies this month.
Singapore VLSFO cash premium was pegged at $8.05 a metric ton, with bids inching upwards for loading dates in November, while backwardation between November and December also widened.
Meanwhile, cash premium for 380-cst high sulphur fuel oil (HSFO) was stable at $7.25 a metric ton on the back of rangebound bids and offers.
The uptick in cargo arrivals and blendstocks for October is expected to keep the broader supply pool ample into next month, based on ship-tracking data and industry sources.
Total supply of fuel oil landing in Asia is expected to breach 7 million tons this month for the first time since April, calculations based on LSEG ship-tracking data showed.
