Many days have passed since the last time the Federal Reserve raised the benchmark fed funds rate on June 29th 2006.

This should be bullish for crude short term but benchmarks were mostly flat as economic news out of Asia weighed on any support offered by the Fed's decision.
Bunker prices were mostly stable in the primary ports.
