Fuel oil traders in Asia are paying the lowest premium in six months for the earliest deliveries as sliding freight rates boost supplies from the West.
April swaps for 180-centistoke fuel oil in Singapore, the regional benchmark grade, cost 52 cents a metric ton more than May shipments this month, the least since September, data compiled by Bloomberg show. The front-month contract swung to a discount, or contango, last week for the first time in three months, indicating weakening demand or abundant availability of supply. Prompt cargoes may trade at a 92 cent premium on average in the second half of March, according to the median of five estimates in a Bloomberg News survey of analysts and traders.
