Rotterdam Market Report

Market report from Marine Bunkering (Rotterdam) B.V.

Crude:

World fuel indices fell amid signs a global glut will persist as Iran planned to boost production and U.S. drilling activity sustained an increase.

Commodities sank to the lowest in 16 years as forecasts for the weakest Chinese growth since 1990 sparked more fears of drastically curbed oil consumption.

Iran's oil minister said the country will expand output "at any cost". The number of active oil rigs in the U.S. rose for the seventh time in eight weeks.

Bunker Market:

Still a lot of pressure on HSFO 380 cSt price as market is oversupplied in ARA.
