ICE Brent crude futures gained $1.60/bl to $76.25/bl on Tuesday.
VLSFO prices at the top ports mostly had a negative trend. At Singapore prices fell by $4/mt to $591/mt, at Rotterdam they sank by $7/mt to $543/mt, at Fujairah they dropped by $12/mt to $572/mt, and at Houston they were little changed at $523/mt.
