Asia’s refining margins for fuel oil fell week-on-week as ample incoming supplies weighed on the market, reports Bunker Ports News.

October crack spread for 0.5% very low sulphur fuel oil (VLSFO) fell by nearly 5% from last week, closing at a premium of $8.52 a barrel at Friday’s Asia close.

Meanwhile, the crack for 380-cst HSFO closed at a discount of $12.15 a barrel, posting weekly declines of more than 10%, LSEG data showed.

Supply inventories have risen at Singapore in recent weeks, while total supplies to Asia have firmed compared to last month.

ARA INVENTORIES

Inventories at ARA fell 6.3% to 1.08 million tons in the week to Sept. 21, latest data from Dutch consultancy Insights Global showed.
