Asia Distillates-Thin activity persists; jet fuel sees some East-West support
SINGAPORE, Aug 21 (Reuters) -Asia's middle distillates physical markets were thinly discussed in the open trading window for a second straight session as a buy-sell gap persisted, though jet fuel activity may find some East-West support in the short term and swaps discussions were brisk.
Discussions remained in a limbo as cautious outlooks persisted, though supply fundamentals remained ample.
The key issue now is that demand remains a question mark regionally and some traders are probably uncertain as a result, one regional analyst source said.
Spot discounts GO10-SIN-DIF however gained by 1 cent given continuous buying interest from Trafigura in the open trading window, against a backdrop of limited lower-priced cargoes.
Paper markets were in a slightly deeper contango structure from the previous trading session.
Refining margins GO10SGCKMc1 meanwhile clawed back some losses in the previous two trading sessions, rebounding to around $14.60 a barrel as paper markets gained back some ground.
On the jet fuel front, more China oil majors came out with their September spot cargoes for sale, with some traders speculating that there could be a possibility for some East-West arbitrage discussions soon.
There is some prompt supply tightness in the U.S. West Coast due to unexpected production outages there, which could bolster demand from Asia soon, one refinery source said.
Regrade JETREG10SGMc1 was supported for the third straight session, narrowing to a discount of slightly around 50 cents a barrel as a reflection of this possibly better demand expectation.
