Asia Distillates-Margins sink further; more Oct refiner offers emerge
SINGAPORE, Sept 17 (Reuters) -Asia's middle distillates markets recorded more October refiner selling interest, in line with earlier expectations, though open trading window activity was mostly muted.

More offers are expected to emerge in the next few trading sessions as sellers continue clearing their October selling requirements, though some traders are expecting China-origin volumes to be curtailed because of volatile export margins.
Refining margins GO10SGCKMc1 for 10ppm sulphur gasoil were at nearly three-year lows, weighed on by little changed paper markets and overall stronger crude prices.
Spot discounts GO10-SIN-DIF on the open trading window held steady from the previous trading session, owing to a buy-sell gap in the open trading window and lack of lower-priced sellers.
Meanwhile, weakness in jet fuelmarkets was less pronounced, given some short-coveringdemand still evident in the regional markets.
Regrade JETREG10SGMc1 flipped back into a premium of 25 cents a barrel, hovering at a three-month high as a reflection of this.
