Asia Fuel Oil-Benchmarks strengthen despite inventory builds
SINGAPORE, Oct 24 (Reuters) -Fuel oil benchmarks climbed in Asia on Thursday, with spot cargo bids trending higher for November and backwardation firming despite inventory builds at key trading hub Singapore.
The cash premium for 380-cst high sulphur fuel oil (HSFO) traded up at $11 a metric ton, while 0.5% low sulphur fuel oil was pegged higher at $9.90 a metric ton.
However, the recovery in supplies and inventories is expected to cap price gains. Onshore stockpiles in Singapore rose for a fourth consecutive week, hitting the highest in 18 weeks, official data showed.
Fuel oil cracks also held onto their recent strength on Thursday despite higher crude prices, based on LSEG data.
Singapore 380-cst HSFO cracks FO380DUBCKMc1 closed at discounts of $2.85 a barrel on Thursday, while VLSFO cracks LFO05SGDUBCMc1 closed at premiums of $16.73 a barrel.
Margins for high sulphur fuel oil (HSFO) rallied at Asia oil hub Singapore to more than two-year highs this week, led by a strong European market, trade sources said.
Meanwhile, Russia's Surgutneftegaz awarded its annual tender for diesel and fuel oil exports in 2025 at higher prices than a year ago, three sources familiar with the tender said.
