Asia Fuel Oil-HSFO margins surge to more than two-year highs
SINGAPORE, Oct 23 (Reuters) -High sulphur fuel oil (HSFO) margins firmed to their highest in more than two years on Wednesday, based on data from LSEG, buoyed by strong buying interest on the derivatives front, according to market sources.
Dubai-basis cracks for 180-cst HSFO FO180SGCKMc1, which are typically in discounted territory, neared parity for the November contract at Wednesday's Asia close, LSEG data showed.
Meanwhile, 380-cst cracks FO380DUBCKMc1 reached discounts near $3 a barrel on Wednesday.
The firmer cracks were led by the strength in the western barges market, according to sources.
Despite a recovery in supplies this month, spot premiums in Asia have inched higher this week as bids for November trended up for both high-sulphur and low-sulphur markets.
In tenders, India's HPCL offered two cargoes of HSFO for loading in November, while Taiwan's CPC sought a cargo of LSFO for December, based on data from sources.
