Asia Distillates-Cash premiums stay at 7-mth highs; Nov refiner offers emerge
SINGAPORE, Oct 11 (Reuters) -Asia's middle distillates markets recorded a slight uptick in physical window activity on Friday, with cash discussions remaining at seven-month highs, though overall paper discussions stayed slightly muted.
Regional supply disruptions continued to be a primraryfocus in the market, with more buying activities from Indonesia's Pertamina evident.
Traders were fervently awaiting for more spot November sales to emerge, as the backwardated market structure in the past two weeks could still encourage refiners to end up selling more than October.

Meanwhile, at least two long-range-sized vessels, Captain John and Hafnia Loire, will load diesel from swing supplier Middle East to southeast Asia in October - in line with earlier expectations of more flows to the east of Suez markets given better seller profitability compared with the west.
Refining margins GO10SGCKMc1 were little changed from the previous session, also week on week, at around $14 a barrel.
Spot cash premiums GO10-SIN-DIF hovered at seven-month highs in the past four trading sessions on aggressive buying interest in the window trading sessions. The value closed at 46 cents a barrel on Friday, reflecting the continuous demand strength.
A general lack of selling activity buoyed cash markets further.
Jet fuel activity was much more muted in comparison, but some analysts are hoping that decreases in supply from refinery outages - planned and unplanned - will be supportive to prices.
There are some trader expectations of stronger demand in the fourth quarter, especially ahead of the holiday travelling season in the West, which could still be a boon for the market,
