Asia Fuel Oil-Spot 380-cst HSFO firms while cracks retain strength
SINGAPORE, Oct 30 (Reuters) -Spot premium for 380-cst high sulphur fuel oil (HSFO) strengthened on Wednesday as bids trended higher, while refining cracks held on to their recent strength.
The market has received a boost despite recovering supplies to Asia this month, driven by firm sentiment in the western hub of Rotterdam which saw barge cracks rallying up.
Singapore's front-month 380-cst HSFO cracks FO380DUBCKMc1 held near discounts of $2 a barrel on Wednesday, maintaining at the highest since May 2022, based on LSEG data.
Cash premium for 380-cst HSFO was pegged higher at $14.25 a metric ton on Wednesday amid firmer-priced bids for November dates, while 180-cst HSFO traded up at $16 a ton.
In tenders, Kuwait Petroleum Corporation offered 60,000 tons of HSFO for loading in November, closing on Wednesday.
