The Singapore front-month crack spread for 0.5% sulfur marine fuel against ICE Brent futures declined from $9.78\/b to $9.44\/b, representing a 2.4% decrease for the week.<\/p><p>The September\u2013October swaps time spread remained stable at $2.25\/mt. The cargo differential for Singapore\u2019s 0.5% sulfur marine fuel held steady at a discount of $0.67\/mt due to a lack of competitive bids.<\/p><p>In August, Singapore is expected to receive 2.8\u20132.9 million mt of low-sulfur fuel oil from Western markets, up from 2.3\u20132.4 million mt in July. The East\u2013West spread for marine fuel assessments declined to $26.25\/mt on August 14.<\/p><p>Singapore\u2019s HSFO cash differential narrowed to a discount of $2.90\/mt. Commercial HSFO stockpiles decreased to 24.6 million barrels, while fuel oil imports fell 4.8% to 718,904 mt. Imports from Europe dropped by nearly 95%, whereas imports from the Middle East increased threefold to 166,765 mt.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>Source: Platts, S&amp;P Global Commodity Insights \u2013 August 15, 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>Daily Market Analysis of Fuel Oil in Asia and the Middle East \u2013 Platts August 2025 Refining Margin for 0.5% Sulfur Marine Fuel Declines Cash Discounts on HSFO Narrow as Bids Strengthen Singapore Fuel Oil Inventories Fall to Three-Week Low \u00a0 Asian low-sulfur fuel oil refining margins weakened on August 15, reflecting a stable market&hellip;
