Asia Naphtha/Gasoline-Gasoline margins reach two-week high; naphtha backwardation narrows
SINGAPORE, Nov 5 (Reuters) -Asia's gasoline margins climbed on Tuesday to more than a two-week high as 750,000 barrels of the benchmark grade of octane exchanged hands at the closing window.
The crack rose to $6.02 per barrel over Brent crude, its highest since Oct. 18.
Saudi Aramco emerged as the biggest seller yet again, as it sold 400,000 of 92-octane gasoline at the end of the trading day.
In naphtha, the margins slipped to more than a week low to $111.40 per metric ton over Brent crude, its lowest since Oct. 25.
The backwardation between the second-half December and the second-half January narrowed to $6.25.
Regional traders shared concerns that despite heading into the winter season, they do not expect the depressed margins to pick up for the time being.
