Price declines may continue in the Global Bunker Market

The values of the world bunker index MABUX (an index calculated at current prices for the main types of bunker fuel in the pool of leading ports of the world) showed a weak decline on September 30:
380 HSFO – USD/MT – 501.18 (-5.57)
VLSFO – USD/MT – 760.06 (-0.96)
MGO – USD/MT – 1 096.54 (-1.75)
At the end of September 30, the MABUX MBP/DBP Index (MDI) (a comparison of market bunker prices and the MABUX digital bunker price benchmark), 380 HSFO fuel was underestimated in all selected ports: in Rotterdam – minus $ 97 (minus $ 76 a day earlier), in Singapore – minus $ 150 (minus $ 148 a day earlier), in Fujairah – minus $ 152 (minus $ 136 a day earlier), in Houston – minus 67 (minus $ 72 a day earlier). MDI has decreased in most of the selected ports. The most significant changes were recorded in Rotterdam, where the level of underestimation increased by 21 points. Mabux
