The market structure for fuel oil softened in Asia on Tuesday, with prompt intermonth spreads for both high sulphur fuel oil (HSFO) and very low sulphur fuel oil (VLSFO) slipping into a wider contango.
The contango implies that prompt supply remained available amid high inventories. Meanwhile, spot differentials held in discounts amid more incoming supply.
In the HSFO market, Thailand’s PTT offered three cargoes of 380-cst HSFO for loading in November, higher than the usual one to two cargoes. The tender closed on Tuesday, according to market sources.
Meanwhile, the VLSFO market remained pressured by an already well-supplied market, with two residue cargoes slated to load from Malaysia’s Pengerang. The cargoes usually end up in the VLSFO blending pool.
Cracks were range-bound, with November VLSFO crack still holding above a premium of $6 a barrel, while 380-cst HSFO crack closed at a discount of about $3.75 a barrel, data compiled by LSEG showed.
