BUNKER PRICES: G20-VLSFO Index Drops to Six-Day Low
Bunker fuel prices declined at most ports on Wednesday, with global average VLSFO prices falling to the lowest level in almost a week.
Ship & Bunker's G20-VLSFO Index of prices across 20 leading bunkering ports lost $2/mt to $588.50/mt on Wednesday, reaching the lowest level since September 12.
The G20-HSFO Index was little changed at $483/mt, while the G20-MGO Index rose by $1.50/mt to $730/mt.
ICE Brent crude futures slipped by $0.05/bl to $73.65/bl on Wednesday.
VLSFO prices at the top four ports mostly followed a negative trend. At Singapore prices lost $5.50/mt to $581.50/mt, at Rotterdam they fell by $0.50/mt to $507/mt, at Fujairah they slipped by $2.50/mt to $572/mt, and at Houston they advanced by $2.50/mt to $516/mt.
