MOGAS: Asia's 92 RON crack crossed the $11/barrel mark for the first time in 11 months Thursday, rising 92 cents/b to $11.06/b over March ICE Brent. Its last high was on February 23, 2009, at $11.12/b, Platts data showed. Although February exports from key regional refineries were largely steady compared with January, heavy commitments to end-users, upcoming refinery turnarounds and competing pull from the Middle East for Indian barrels were seen as possible reasons behind Asia's rally. While the Middle East is awash with Mediterranean barrels, increased Brazilian demand -- as the country lowers the ethanol content for 90 days from February 1 -- could crimp West of Suez supply there. More upside came from Indonesia, where Pertamina's February imports are now estimated at 6.7 million barrels -- similar to the highs in January. Its trading arm Petral was heard buying 800,000 barrels of 88 RON, 92 RON on a spot basis, due to the upcoming Plaju FCC turnaround and its Balongan RCC running at 80% capacity.China's February exports are seen similar to January but export activities are to decline in mid-February due to the Lunar New Year holidays. March trade has kicked off with Taiwan's Formosa offering a 93 RON cargo for early March. IE Singapore data showed Singapore flipped into a net importer of 165,539 mt for the week ended January 27, the first time in three weeks, on heavy imports from Malaysia, India and China. Part of this Chinese imports could be from delayed loadings due to the sea ice in Bohai Bay in early-January. Around 58,886 mt was exported to the UAE. Light distillates stocks rose 6.7% on week to 10.49 million barrels. Iran may halt gasoline imports after 2012 once it completes raising output capacity by 39 million liters/day from the 44 million l/d now, through greenfield refineries, adding new and upgrading units. Imports are now 22-23 million l/d.
NAPHTHA: Asian naphtha prices slipped about $3/mt Thursday, while the second-half March crack value was assessed at $145/mt, down $1.50/mt from Wednesday. According to Japanese end-users, inventory levels at some Japanese crackers were recovering and most had covered their H2 February feedstock requirements. However, crackers were still running at almost 100%, said sources. Hence, there might still be some end-user demand for H1 March cargoes soon. However, a trading source noted that end-users could be trying to assess the volume they would be receiving in February and seeing where the market is heading. "We are not as short as we have been in the past month," said the source. Elsewhere, India's Haldia Petrochemical has begun the startup process at its newly revamped naphtha-fed steam cracker at Haldia after a 6-8 day delay, company sources said Thursday. According to those sources,the cracker would take one to two days to be fully operational. The company shut its entire petrochemical complex on October 30 for a 75-day expansion procedure which would increase its ethylene capacity from 520,000 mt/year to 670,000 mt/year. According to the company, they have already secured naphtha feedstock for March and April. Four trades were reported during the Platts
GASOIL: Physical cargoes of ultra low sulfur gasoil saw a flutter of interest Thursday from oil majors BP and Shell. The two buyers were looking for front-laycan loading cargoes during the
JET: The steady rise in interest in spot cargoes from Shell helped lift the differential for jet fuel loading in Singapore to its highest level in six months. At the close of trading in Asia Thursday, the jet differential was set 9 cents/barrel narrower at minus 39 cents/b, a level not seen since July 28, 2009 when it settled at minus 35 cents/b. During Thursday's
HSFO: Fuel oil prices bucked the trend on Thursday to firm by around $2-2.50/mt, taking the crack value to a six-year high. The front-month physical 180 CST high sulfur fuel oil crack on Thursday firmed by 48 cents/barrel from the previous close to minus 58 cents/b. This is the strongest it has been since closing at minus 53 cents/b on October 2, 2003.Meanwhile, the fuel oil market in Singapore continued to hold onto the slight premium it had, but could see a reversal in the coming weeks, on the back of heavier supplies. "On the [Western] inflows, I think lots of folks did not take into account the delays in loading that took place because of cold weather." The estimated Western arbitrage volume over the next two months was still not clear, with most market watchers expecting Western arrivals to come in at around 3 million mt for both months. Another bearish factor for the market was regional supply with heavier Persian Gulf and Indian fuel oil tonnes expected in February. Spot supply from the Persian Gulf offered or sold so far for loading in February has reached 420,000 mt. In India, February-loading fuel oil spot supply has reached 345,000 mt,slightly higher from the 310,000 mt for loading in January, Platts data showed. "There is now a bit more Persian Gulf and Indian barrels, so that has also put a bit of a dampener on the market, plus Fujairah bunker sales don't seem fantastic at all," he added. Meanwhile, in Singapore, heavy distillates stocks in landed storage fell to a 15-week low by 418,000 barrels for the week ended January 28 to around 18.67 million barrels (2.87 million mt), data from IE Singapore showed Thursday. The slight fall in inventory could be due to lower import levels over the week, while domestic bunker demand remained steady. This week, imports fell by 76,536 mt over the week to 855,000 mt, while regional exports from Singapore dropped by 79,655 mt to around 450,619 mt, data showed.
