The global fuel oil market is currently going through a turmoil on account of the less-than-usual Russian oil flowing into the marine fuel oil pool and a fair share of blending components being used to produce higher-margin transportation fuels. Tightening sanctions on Russian oil has led to newer trade flows to emerge. As Asian markets gear up for peak summer demand, trade flows are poised to undergo further changes. The recent fuel contamination issue at Singapore has further exacerbated product availability concerns.
In this podcast, S&P Global Commodity Insights' Rajesh Nair, Atsuko Kawasaki and Zhuwei Wang talk about the outlook for the Asian fuel oil market.
