HSFO Market Dynamics
As of Nov. 16, the MABUX MBP/DBP Index (MDI), which tracks the correlation between market bunker prices (MBP) and the MABUX digital bunker price benchmark (DBP), has observed the following trends in four selected ports: Rotterdam, Singapore, Fujairah, and Houston.
– HSFO segment: All four selected ports remained in the undercharge zone, with the underprice premium narrowing further by $5 in Rotterdam, $9 in Fujairah and $6 in Houston. MDI index in Singapore stayed unchanged. The undervalue level in Fujairah is still above $100, while in Houston, it approached the 100-percent correlation mark between market bunker price and the digital benchmark.
VLFO Market Dynamics
– VLSFO segment: Rotterdam and Houston were in the undercharge zone, observing a $7 decrease in underprice premiums in Rotterdam and a $4 decrease in Houston. Singapore and Fujairah remained overcharged, with overpricing margins rising by $3 in Singapore and $1 in Fujairah.
