Asia Naphtha/Gasoline-Naphtha margins extend losses; Pakistan's PSO seeks Dec-loading gasoline
SINGAPORE, Nov 6 (Reuters) -Asia's gasoline margins slipped on Wednesday, despite another day of high trading volumes in the benchmark gasoline grade, with 400,000 barrels changing hands.
For the third consecutive session, Saudi Aramco was the top seller, accounting for 50% of the 92-octane gasoline traded.
The crack dipped to $4.91 per barrel over Brent crude, from $6.02 on Tuesday.
With Donald Trump increasingly poised to retake the White House, regional traders remain relatively bearish on the short-term gains in the spot market for gasoline markets.
In tenders, Pakistan's PSO was seeking 92-octane gasoline for the loading period during Dec. 25-31, according to the company website. The tender closes on Nov. 18.
In naphtha, the crack dipped for the third session to $109.33 per metric ton over Brent crude.
The demand for light distillate is under pressure from due to planned maintenances at a few ethylene crackers in the region this month, according to an LSEG report.
"An unexpected two-week-long shutdown at Taiwanese CPC's 720,000 metric ton/year No.3 Kaohsiung cracker due to a power trip last month due to a typhoon likely crimped some demand for the light distillate," the report said.
