Asia Fuel Oil-Spot 380-cst premiums slip for first in 5 weeks; Hi-5 narrows
SINGAPORE, Nov 8 (Reuters) -Asia's 380-cst high sulphur fuel oil (HSFO) cash premiums slipped for the first time in five weeks, tracking the persistently lower offers in the trading window despite slightly positive market expectations going into December.
Cash premiums for the fuel were almost 30% lower week on week at $10.25 per metric ton, though deals were scant on Friday despite the past few sessions of deals.
The backwardation in November-December swaps retreated throughout the second half of the week, further weighing on cash premiums for all grades of fuel oil.
Meanwhile, front-month cracking margins for 380-cst HSFO FO380DUBCKMc1 were little changed week on week, hovering at a discount of around $6 a barrel.
In very-low sulphur fuel oil (VLSFO) markets, talks of some minor quota switches - around 60,000 metric tons - for one China oil major were in the market.
Cash premiums for VLSFO fell further to $8 per ton, reflecting the consistently lower-priced offers on the trading window.
The Hi-5 spread tightened back to levels last seen a week earlier at around $121 per ton, a reflection of the weaker VLSFO performance compared with continuously firm expectations of 380-cst supply-demand balance.
