As of October 29, 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 was undervalued in three out of four ports: in Rotterdam – minus $ 9 (minus $ 15 the day before), in Singapore – minus $ 20 (minus $ 22) and in Houston – minus $ 3 (plus $ 1). In Fujairah, MABUX MBP / DBP Index registered an overpricing by $ 1 (minus $ 6 a day earlier). Overall, 380 HSFO prices in the world’s largest ports remain stable.

VLSFO, according to the MABUX MBP / DBP Index, moved into the overcharge sector on October 29 in all selected ports, apart from Singapore, where the Index registered an undercharge by $ 2 (unchanged from the day before). The overpricing margins in other ports were: in Rotterdam – plus $ 4 (plus $ 5 the day before), in Fujairah – plus $ 7 (minus $ 10), in Houston – plus $ 5 (minus $ 2). The most significant Index change was the growth of VLSFO overcharge rate at the port of Fujairah by 17 points.

MGO LS, according to the MABUX MBP / DBP Index, remained undervalued on October 29 in all selected ports except Fujairah, where a $ 4 overestimate was recorded (minus $ 15 a day earlier).
