The G20-HSFO Index slipped by $0.50/mt to $464.50/mt, while the G20-MGO Index was little changed at $711.50/mt.
ICE Brent crude futures advanced by $1.13/bl to $66.47/bl on Friday.
VLSFO prices at the top four ports were mixed in direction. At Singapore prices fell by $2.50/mt to $510/mt, at Rotterdam they advanced by $1/mt to $477/mt, at Fujairah they dropped by $1.50/mt to $501.50/mt, and at Houston they climbed by $0.50/mt to $469.50/mt.
