Asia Naphtha/Gasoline-Gasoline crack rises for a second session
Sept 17 (Reuters) -Asia's gasoline margins rose for a second consecutive session on Tuesday as supply is expected to tighten due to ongoing refinery maintenance in the region, traders said.
Refiners' margin for the motor fuel could also be supported in the short run by refiners potentially trimming output due to weak overall margins, a trader said.
The gasoline crack rose to $4.45 per barrel above Brent crude from $4.14 on Monday.
Saudi Aramco was the main seller on the window, having sold 75% of the 200,000 barrels of 92-octane gasoline that traded. Unipec snapped up half of the traded volume.
In naphtha market, the crack dropped $4.83 to $107.63 per metric ton over Brent crude.
Supplies from the Middle East helped to counter the drop in Asian supplies with Saudi Arabiaand United Arab Emirates being the top two exporters to the region, stabilising the market, traders said.
