Holiday lull for Latin America

摘要

Latin America bunker market activity was mostly dormant for the week commencing 12 August due to a Catholic feast day known as Assumption, sources said. Sources in multiple markets reported not seeing a single inquiry, though most said prices were slightly higher due to Brent crude futures strength. ICE Brent front-month crude futures were assessed by Platts at $109.54/b at 1915 GMT, an increase of 68 cents/b or $4.32/mt.
