Gasoil, gasoline markets key to VLSFO pricing: Integr8 Gasoil demand is expected to return to pre-coronavirus levels quicker than gasoline, but both are key factors for very low sulfur fuel oil prices in the medium term, as combined they make up over half of its ingredients, according to a webinar presented by hosted by Integr8 Oct. 7.
