BUNKER PRICES: G20-VLSFO Index Slips for First in Six Sessions
Bunker fuel prices fell at most ports on Monday, with global average VLSFO prices declining for the first in six consecutive sessions.
Ship & Bunker's G20-VLSFO Index of prices across 20 leading bunkering ports lost $1.50/mt to $587.50/mt on Monday, having reached the highest level since November 11 in the previous session.
The G20-HSFO Index declined by $2/mt to $490/mt, while the G20-MGO Index rose by $0.50/mt to $765/mt.
ICE Brent crude futures sank by $2.16/bl to $73.01/bl on Monday.
VLSFO prices at the top four ports followed a negative trend. At Singapore prices lost $1/mt to $570/mt, at Rotterdam they declined by $1/mt to $515.50/mt, at Fujairah they slipped by $2/mt to $563/mt, and at Houston they dropped by $1/mt to $555/mt.
On Tuesday morning Brent futures were trading up by $0.10/bl from the previous session's close at $73.11/bl as of 7:01 AM in London. In metric tonne terms that would be equivalent to a $0.75/mt rise in bunker prices.
