As of July 12, a correlation of MABUX MBP Index (Market Bunker Prices) vs MABUX DBP Index (Digital Bunker Prices Benchmark) in four largest global hubs showed that 380 HSFO fuel remained undervalued in all selected ports: from minus $ 25 in Houston (minus $ 20 the day before (t.d.b.)) and minus $ 32 (minus $ 27 t.d.b) in Fujairah to minus $ 37 (minus $ 31 t.d.b.) in Rotterdam and minus $ 46 (minus $ 46 t.d.b.) in Singapore. The most significant change was registered in Rotterdam (+ $6).
