MABUX: Bunker prices may demonstrate irregular changes on May 17.

MGO - USD/MT – 1274.08 (+13.83)

As of May 16, 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 grade was overvalued in all selected ports: Rotterdam - by plus $10 (plus $19 the day before), in Singapore - by plus $33 (plus $43 the day before), in Fujairah - by plus $29 (plus $52 the day before), in Houston by plus $67 (plus $81 the day before). MABUX MBP/DBP Index (MDI) for 380 HSFO fuel decreased for all selected ports. The most significant changes were registered in Fujairah where the overcharge level decreased by 23 points on May 16.

The overcharge ratio was registered in Rotterdam - plus $4 (plus $16 the day before), in Singapore by plus $33 (plus $41 the day before), in Fujairah - by plus $ 39 (plus $47 the day before), in Houston - plus $13 (plus $26 the day before).
