Expectations of sufficient regional supply are likely to cap further upward movement. The Singapore marine fuel 0.5% August-September swaps time spread narrowed to approximately $1.55 per metric ton, down from $1.70 per metric ton the previous day. Platts assessed the LSFO cash premium at $5.22 per metric ton, the highest level since July 9, supported by firm buying interest.<\/p><p>In contrast, the Singapore high-sulfur fuel oil (HSFO) cargo differential was assessed at a discount of $6.35 per metric ton, widening from $5.43 per metric ton, amid competitive offers. The HSFO August-September swaps time spread stood at minus $2.75 per metric ton. Although downstream HSFO premiums have shown some improvement, abundant stock levels may weigh on future market fundamentals.<\/p><p>Singapore&#8217;s heavy distillate inventories rose by 1.3% on the week to 23.7 million barrels as of July 23, driven by a 31.6% increase in fuel oil imports to 1.09 million metric tons. The increase was largely attributed to higher inflows from the Middle East, particularly from Iraq.<\/p><p>Source: Platts, S&amp;P Global Commodity Insights \u2013 July 25, 2025<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Platts Daily Market Analysis: Fuel Oil Trends in Asia and the Middle East July 2025 The 0.5% sulfur marine fuel cash premium increased to a two-week high.
