Bunker fuel prices rallied at most ports on Thursday, with global average VLSFO prices advancing for the first in six consecutive sessions.

ICE Brent crude futures rose by $1.46/bl to $79.87/bl on Thursday.
VLSFO prices at the top ports mostly followed a positive trend. At Singapore prices rose by $0.50/mt to $579.50/mt, at Rotterdam they climbed by $2/mt to $528/mt, at Fujairah they advanced by $8.50/mt to $583/mt, and at Houston they slipped by $4.50/mt to $568/mt.
