Singapore's fuel oil inventory decreased and support for fuel oil increased. It is understood that Singapore Enterprise Development Council (ESG): in the week ending December 9, Singapore's fuel oil storage fell by 3.39 million barrels to 22.361 million barrels, a three week low.

SunSirs energy analysts believe that the raw material cost of fuel oil 180CST is supported, but the downstream demand is weak and the terminal transaction is limited. Generally speaking, it is expected that the fuel oil 180CST market will remain stable in the short term.
