Asia Naphtha/Gasoline-Naphtha margins extend losses; Pakistan's PSO seeks Dec-loading gasoline
SINGAPORE, Nov 6 (Reuters) -Asia's gasoline margins slipped on Wednesday, despite another day of high trading volumes in the benchmark gasoline grade, with 400,000 barrels changing hands.

The crack dipped to $4.91 per barrel over Brent crude, from $6.02 on Tuesday.
With Donald Trump increasingly poised to retake the White House, regional traders remain relatively bearish on the short-term gains in the spot market for gasoline markets.
In tenders, Pakistan's PSO was seeking 92-octane gasoline for the loading period during Dec. 25-31, according to the company website. The tender closes on Nov. 18.
In naphtha, the crack dipped for the third session to $109.33 per metric ton over Brent crude.
The demand for light distillate is under pressure from due to planned maintenances at a few ethylene crackers in the region this month, according to an LSEG report.
"An unexpected two-week-long shutdown at Taiwanese CPC's 720,000 metric ton/year No.3 Kaohsiung cracker due to a power trip last month due to a typhoon likely crimped some demand for the light distillate," the report said.
