Asia Distillates-Markets plagued by thin activity amid cautious outlooks
SINGAPORE, Sept 24 (Reuters) -Asia's middle distillates markets were thinly discussed and little changed for a second straight session as traders were mixed on fourth quarter outlooks despite talks of refining run cuts and support from gains in the futures markets.
A portion of the market still has expectations that prices were close to bottoming out in the near-term should refiners maintain lowered refining runs in the next few months, but demand remains a key concern.
Meanwhile, some SouthKorea-origin gasoil and jet fuel were both sold at discounts of around $1 a barrel for October loading via spot sale tenders.
Refining margins GO10SGCKMc1 were little changed from the previous session, trading at around $11.80 a barrel given the slower reaction compared with crude futures gains.
Spot market discounts GO10-SIN-DIF were little changed at discounts of more than 40 cents a barrel, as buyers and sellers both seemed disinterested in open window participation.
There were talks of some Japan refiners needing to come back into the market to continue their spot purchase for jet fuel, but further details could not be confirmed.
Regrade JETREG10SGMc1 meanwhile did not find any support in recent market movements, closing the trading session at a discount of 44 cents a barrel.
