Asia Fuel Oil-HSFO cash premium fall after crude dips

Wednesday, 10 July 2024 | 00:00

Spot premium for high sulphur fuel oil (HSFO) trended lower on Tuesday after crude prices slipped and as traders expected supplies to outpace demand in July.

The 380-cst grade high sulphur fuel oil (HSFO) cash premium was pegged at $5.40 a metric ton, down 92 cents from Monday’s close.

On the very low sulphur oil (VLSFO) front, premiums were relatively steady even as a flurry of trades at the deals window lifted demand sentiment.

Cash premium for VLSFO traded at $4.39 per ton on Tuesday, compared with $4.53 a day earlier.
