Asia Fuel Oil-HSFO market weakens sharply amid retreating offers
SINGAPORE, Oct 1 (Reuters) -Spot benchmarks for the 380-cst high sulphur fuel oil (HSFO) market weakened sharply on Tuesday as offers for loading dates in the second half of October dropped further.
Singapore's cash premium for 380-cst HSFO was pegged at $6.65 per metric ton, more than halving from the previous day, while cracks for November FO380DUBCKMc1 slipped to discounts wider than $9.50 a barrel.
Earlier strength in the market had pared amid prospects of easing tightness. More cargoes should also be directed to East Asia instead of the Middle East, which has exited its peak summer demand period, trade sources said.
The 0.5% low sulphur fuel oil (VLSFO) market has also shown signs of weakening.
Prompt-month cracks for VLSFO LFO05SGDUBCMc1 closed at premiums of $12.45 a barrel on Tuesday, after hitting nearly eight-month highs of over $15.50 a barrel into late-September.
Amid the weaker turn in HSFO, Singapore's hi-5 fuel oil spread FO05-380SGMc1 narrowed to about $141 a metric ton on Tuesday.
