Asia Naphtha/Gasoline-Naphtha margins inch up, gasoline export expected to be capped
Sept 13 (Reuters) -Asia's naphtha margins reached a near six-month high on Friday to hit $105.13 per metric ton over Brent crude. It last traded at $106.05 on March 13 earlier this year.
In the gasoline market, no deals were concluded at the end of closing on Friday. The crack fell to a week's low of $3.75 per barrel above Brent crude, from $4.70 on Thursday. It last hit $3.24 on Sept. 6.
Gasoline exports is expected to remain capped going forward as refineries are likely to still prioritise jet fuel production and exports amid continued strong recovery in the aviation sector, while Chinese domestic demand for gasoline should rise with the upcoming Mid-Autumn festival and Golden Week holidays, an LSEG report said.
Supplies from India to Africa appears to be diminishing as Nigeria's 650,000-barrels per day Dangote oil refinery started supplying the domestic market with gasoline from this month, with initial supply at 25 million litres daily and increasing to 30 million litres from October. This could further pressure margins in Asia as swing barrels from India could be prompted to head towards Asia instead, the report added.
Traders believe the upcoming maintenance season and the refining cuts in response to slimming margins could relatively stabilise the margins in the short term, which could potentially cap further downside to price benchmarks.
