I needed a project today. Feb 4: Asia Fuel Oil-Intermonth spreads in contango; supply weighs Black: Singapore Fuel Oil 380 cst (Platts) Futures Red: Singapore Fuel Oil 180 cst (Platts) Futures Blue: European 3.5% Fuel Oil Barges FOB Rdam (Platts) Futures Feb 6: Asia Fuel Oil-February Western arbitrage arrivals at 5-mth low
I enjoy your graphs as well. Do you have access to Platt's or Bloomberg tanker or barge rates ? Another good variable to track would be storage or rack rates. Those would be a great inclusion.
I have most Platts product/crude prices and I check the liquid tanker routes daily to gauge any excess demand over the available tonnage. The smoke I usually look for is any curve in backwardation. Cheap international storage data is hard to come by unfortunately, but I hope to add that to my tool chest eventually.
