Asia Distillates-Gasoil margin dips; market eyes more inflows
SINGAPORE, Nov 27 (Reuters) -Asia's refining margin for gasoil eased on Wednesday amid some sell-offs, while the market eyed more barrels flowing into the region.
The front-month crack for 10ppm sulphur gasoil GO10-SIN-DIF fell back to levels below $16 a barrel on Wednesday, based on LSEG data at the Asia close (0830 GMT).
Supplies from India and the Middle East flowing to Asia have risen in recent weeks, capping the strength that came from expectations of limited China exports, trade sources said.
Meanwhile, spot premium for gasoil remained rangebound near 50 cents a barrel, with some bids retaining strength for the prompt loading laycan.
Regrade spread JETREG10SGMc1 widened slightly day-on-day, closing at a premium of 54 cents a barrel on Wednesday.
