The G20-HSFO Index sank by $13.50/mt to $522/mt, while the G20-MGO Index climbed by $2/mt to $751/mt.
ICE Brent crude futures dropped by $0.58/bl to $74.38/bl on Thursday.
VLSFO prices at the top four ports mostly followed a positive trend. At Singapore prices gained $10/mt to $611.50/mt, at Rotterdam they rose by $1/mt to $544/mt, at Fujairah they climbed by $10/mt to $595.50/mt, and at Houston they slipped by $1/mt to $540.50/mt.
