MOGAS: Outright Asia gasoline prices continued to linger at nine-month highs Tuesday on the back of firm crude futures, with low- and mid-octane cracks inching higher reflecting firmer European and RBOB cracks and limited supply from India. High-octane 97 RON however, weakened by 14 cents/b on the back of strong selling interest. Malaysia's upcoming introduction of 95 RON and deregulation of 97 RON pump prices from September 1 could also have put high octanes under pressure. Meanwhile, gasoline premiums continue to be underpinned by refinery run cuts in the region, while import demand in September are tentatively forecast as steady from August. Adding to this, RIL was heard to have switched its export grade to mostly 95 RON, majority of which is heading to East Africa and the Middle East. Chinese refiner WEPEC sold its first cargo for September, at MOPS plus 30-40 cents/b, FOB Dalian basis -- marginally higher than its last sale of a          

NAPHTHA: The Asia naphtha market was looking well balanced Tuesday. Recent weakness in naphtha continued to ebb away, though even a strong bounce in crack values Tuesday could hardly be described as bullish, especially considering the more ruddy health of the downstream petrochemicals markets and in Europe, where margins for naphtha consumers are looking hearty in both petrochemicals and gasoline blending. Inquiries for spot naphtha cargoes into Japan and South Korea, for delivery in the second half of September, are expected to land on suppliers' desks later this week. It appeared less likely that the gentle discounts achieved by buyers would be repeated for spot argoes into either country. "For the second half of September, I don't feel any length. If the best price was at a discount I would not sell," said one Japanese trader. That sentiment was borne out in the wholesale market, where inter-cycle spreads for physical cargoes were

GASOIL: The 500 ppm sulfur gasoil grade was the star performer in the Platts Market On Close assessment process Tuesday, with BP keen to buy a cargo for loading in the Middle East. The oil major egged on the premium, steadily increasing its bid till it stood at Mean of Platts ArabGulf gasoil assessment plus $3/barrel at close. But despite that being a 30 cent/b increase in differential on the day, there were few sellers. It is understood that demand from South and East Africa were the cause for the major's determined effort to secure barrels with refinery turnarounds in those areas pulling cargoes in. Apart from that however, trading sources based in Singapore and the Middle East remained puzzled as to the rocketing premium for the grade, which was now up 40 cents/b from Friday. A Middle East based trader, who supplies 500 ppm sulfur gasoil, pegged premiums for the grade around MOPAG plus $2.50-3/b, adding that he had not managed to secure any buyers at MOPAG plus $2.75/b. "Its all about timing, most players      

JET: Jet differentials weakened in Asia Tuesday, in line with a market that is seeing high stock levels and lackluster demand. The benchmark FOB Singapore jet fuel discount widened 5 cents to minus 70 cents/barrel, with a trade seen at that level during the Market on Close assessment process. BP was in the market to sell 100,000 barrels of jet fuel loading August 19-23, progressively offering down to Mean of Platts Singapore jet assessment minus 70 cents/b before finding a buyer in Vitol. BP did not offer on, and no bids were seen once again during the MOC. However, the crack did see improvement with the FOB Singapore jet fuel price finishing at $78.37/b Tuesday, down 51 cents. Meanwhile, in other news, sources told Platts Tuesday that the first loading of jet A-1 fuel from Vietnam's Dung Quat refinery was expected only sometime in September or October. "At the moment, the specs for A1-jet are not correct. Dong Quat has not yet done the necessary
