Asia Distillates-Window activity stays brisk, Trafigura buys more Aug cargoes
SINGAPORE, July 18 (Reuters) -Asia's middle distillates markets were mixed as window spot activity stayed upbeat but paper markets were thin in comparison, with Trafigura buying a total of 850,000 barrels of end-July to early-August cargoes so far this week.
Traders were waiting for more offers from refiners for August to have a clearer supply outlook, given cautious expectations for demand.
Slowing demand remained a worry, especially as some refineries were likely to bring back their facilities after maintenance ends, two trade sources said.
Concerns that China-origin exports could gain in the next two months were also evident given they still have sufficient quotas available until September, one trader said.
Refining margins GO10SGCKMc1 clawed back some losses from a day earlier, recovering to slightly above $16 a barrel at the market's close.
Spot market discounts GO10-SIN-DIF went back down to slightly more than 20 cents a barrel as lower-priced sellers were once again readily available.
Meanwhile, some traders are expecting China-origin jet fuel cargoes to remain readily available for August, though offers have yet to emerge so far.
Regrade JETREG10SGMc1 remained under pressure as a result, keeping at discounts of almost $1.20 a barrel.
