Maritime market update: oil products prices on the rise

Risavika LNG front month has gained 4.1 % week on week to 21.38 EUR/MWh for October, following the seasonal trend in the European gas markets.

Fuel oil 3.5 has increased by 8 % to 238.16 USD/t, and low sulfur oil products (MFO 0.5 and MGO 0.1) have increased by 6.2-5.1 % accordingly week on week due to increase in crude front prices. Oil market has closed on a bullish note last week on a back of OPEC+ compliance pressure and a draw from the inventories, both in the US and Europe.

Stocks of fuel oil in the Amsterdam-Rotterdam-Antwerp (ARA) hub, as measured by Insights Global, declined 5% to 1.171 million tons in the week to Sept. 16. Meanwhile, gasoil inventories in ARA rose 1.6% to 2.9 million tons, which were up 7.4% compared to last year.
