Index (Digital Bunker Prices Benchmark) in four largest global hubs showed that 380 HSFO fuel remained undervalued in all selected ports: from minus $ 26 in Houston (minus $ 25 the day before (t.d.b.)) and minus $ 35 (minus $ 32 t.d.b) in Fujairah to minus $ 37 (minus $ 37 t.d.b.) in Rotterdam and minus $ 49 (minus $ 46 t.d.b.) in Singapore. The most significant change was registered in Rotterdam and Singapore – plus $3 for both.

VLSFO, according to MABUX DBP Index, was also underestimated in all selected ports. The undercharging ranged from minus $27 in Houston (versus minus $ 28 t.d.b.) and minus $ 12 (minus $ 26 t.d.b.) in Rotterdam to minus $ 45 (minus $50 t.d.b.) in Fujairah and minus $ 45 (minus $ 46 t.d.b.) in Singapore. The biggest change of underestimation level was registered in Rotterdam: the decrease of $ 14.

On July 13, MABUX DBP Index also registered the underpricing of MGO LS in all selected ports, ranging from minus $ 22 (minus $ 22 t.d.b.) in Houston to minus $ 49 (minus $ 56 t.d.b.) in Rotterdam, minus $71 (minus $69 t.d.b.) in Singapore and minus $ 59 (minus $60 t.d.b.) in Fujairah. The most significant change of underestimation level was registered in also Rotterdam (decrease of $ 7).

We expect bunker prices may increase today. 380 HSFO may rise by 4-7 USD, VLSFO – by 6-9 USD. The price for MGO may increase by 5-7 USD.
