Asia Fuel Oil-VLSFO rebounds on firmer trading activity
SINGAPORE, Oct 8 (Reuters) -Spot premium for very low sulphur fuel oil (VLSFO) rebounded on Tuesday after hitting seven-week lows in the previous session, with the emergence of stronger-priced trades.
The premium was pegged at $7.25 a metric ton, up from levels of about $5 per ton on Monday.
Delivered bunker fuel premiums for VLSFO remained rangebound between $20 and $25 per ton, based on industry sources.
Meanwhile, bunker fuel premiums for 380-cst high sulphur fuel oil (HSFO) were still supported above $40 for prompt delivery dates due to tight barging and cargoes, said sources.
However, the Singapore cash premium for 380-cst HSFO closed slightly lower at $3.25 a ton on Tuesday, having shown signs of paring in recent sessions.
In tenders, Taiwan's CPC offered more LSFO for loading in October. The tender closes on Oct. 9 and is valid until Oct. 11, according to a notice on CPC's website.
