Asia Distillates-Markets turn quiet; China's Nov exports come in focus
SINGAPORE, Nov 5 (Reuters) -Asia's middle distillates markets turned slightly quiet, as evidenced from the lack of deals on the trading window, with talks of a shift in China's export volumes for November coming into focus.
Talks of some transference in export quotas by one of China's key oil majors to enable more jet fuel exports emerged, with traders saying this will likely alleviate earlier regional supply tightness of fuel.
Buying will likely cease from China in this case, one trader said, though the market's supply-demand balance should remain strong given the opened arbitrage window between Asia and the U.S. West Coast.
Jet fuel premiums JET-SIN-DIF slipped by 2 cents to 89 cents a barrel, as a reflection of the market weakness.
However, this could end up resulting in limited diesel supplies in return, a second source said, which could be supportive for the market fundamentals until next month.
Also, some term contract offers did emerge for 2025 loading cargoes, with Qatar's QE offering gas-to-liquid diesel cargoes via a tender that closes tomorrow with same-day validity.
Refining margins GO10SGCKMc1 for 10ppm sulphur gasoil were little changed from the previous trading session at around $15.7 a barrel.
Cash differentials GO10-SIN-DIF fell by 3 cents from the previous session, reflecting the ready availability of offers for December cargoes.
Regrade JETREG10SGMc1 gained slightly to a premium of 75 cents a barrel, compared with 57 cents a barrel in the previous trading session.
