African demand helping to buoy Asian motor fuel fundamentals: sources The steady appetite for transportation fuels from Africa is helping to lend support to Asian motor fuel markets, with traders continuing to find opportunities from the continent to move cargoes amid waning demand in Asia. EMEA LIGHT ENDS: Key market indicators The light ends complex strengthened week on week as gasoline demand continued to recover and petrochemical cracking supports feedstocks, providing positive sentiment for the week starting June 21. Asia crude oil: Key market indicators this week Trade activity in the Asian crude oil market is likely to ease in the week of June 21-25 after a flurry of activity in the week ended June 18 demonstrated healthy demand and well-supported spot trading levels for both sweet and sour crude grades. Magellan, Enterprise team up with ICE for new Houston crude futures contract Magellan Midstream Partners and Enterprise Products Partners teamed up with the Intercontinental Exchange to establish a new oil futures contract on Permian Basin crude delivered to Houston in order to make the Gulf Coast hub even more competitive. Japan proposes $10 bil in finance for ASEAN renewables, LNG to aid energy transition Japan has offered ASEAN energy ministers $10 billion in public finance for renewables and LNG projects, as part of a package of measures aimed at helping the group of 10 Southeastern Asian economies accelerate their moves toward energy transition. EMEA Middle Distillates: Key market indicators European middle distillates markets were looking relatively weak despite global oil demand recovery hopes, with values and cracks sliding while flat prices rose to 1-1/2 year highs. Asia middle distillates: Key market indicators for June 21-25 Asian middle distillate markets are entering the June 21-25 trading week on a steady note, with gasoil demand expected to remain flat due to a lack of fresh pricing cues and jet fuel/kerosene continuing to grapple with a dearth of demand amid ongoing COVID-19 travel restrictions. OIL FUTURES: WTI jumps 3% on bullish demand outlooks, falling US inventories Crude prices moved sharply higher June 21, underpinned by global demand recovery hopes and a pause in talks to revive the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action that could see US sanctions lifted on Iranian oil. Middle East Q3 straight-run fuel oil demand rises amid competition from Chinese refineries The recent increase in Chinese independent refineries' demand for straight-run fuel oil as an alternative feedstock is competing with the Middle East's demand for the grade in the third quarter of this year, market traders based in the Middle East said. US clean tanker owners weigh options amid increased appetite for trans-Pacific naphtha flows Clean tankers positioned in the Americas are showing resistance to trans-Pacific voyages despite demand for naphtha exports from US Gulf Coast into Northeast Asia, citing high bunker prices, weak daily earnings and bearish freight market at discharge as deterrents to reposition. KPI OceanConnect full-year bunker volumes up 26.5% amid merger Main growth seen in Asia Full-year period covers volatile time in markets Air Liquide, Airbus partner on hydrogen for Paris airports by 2035 MOU on hydrogen fuel infrastructure study Air Liquide targets 3 GW of electrolysis by 2030 ICE LSGO futures net speculative length reaches near 3-year high on rising flatprice The futures contracts continued to rise on the back of crude price rises amid global demand recovery hopes and a pause in talks to revive the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action that could see US sanctions lifted on Iranian oil. EUROPE AND AFRICA RESIDUAL FUEL: Key market indicators this week Sources continued to point towards an unprofitable arbitrage east from Europe, as the market, particularly the Mediterranean, grappled with ample supply. Sweden's Preem starts test production of renewable gasoline at Lysekil refinery Sawdust-sourced pyrolysis oil being fed into cracker Sweden's biofuel blending mandate to double in 2022 Preem targeting 5 million cu m of renewable fuels by 2030 Asia residual fuel market: Key market indicators this week While the bunker demand for marine fuel 0.5%S in the Asia-Pacific market remains lukewarm overall, the lifting of 14-day mandatory quarantine for crews on vessels at Hong Kong for bunkers-only calls is expected to raise demand marginally in the port city. IMO committee meeting fails to tackle Arctic climate crises: NGOs Black carbon, scrubbers deferred to MEPC 77 Alliance to take up the issue with other shipping bodies Shipping groups call for swift action on IMO-supervised $5 billion fund program More concrete regulatory and technological progress is required to accelerate the development of zero-carbon fuels. Navigation resumes at Kuwait's ports following dust storm Navigation resumed at Shuwaikh, Shuaiba and Doha Ports on Saturday after weather improvement. OIL FUTURES: Crude higher on demand recovery, delay in Iran nuclear talks** "Improving traffic data amid an acceleration of vaccine rollouts has boosted demand for gasoline and diesel in Europe and the US," ANZ said.
