Market Update
Over the past week, the Dated Brent market has been undoubtedly bullish as physical differentials rose from 34c on 11 Nov to 110c on 18 Nov. There has been strong bidding in the physical windows with Petroineos a big bidder last week; Total was also big on the buy side. Today, I bought three grades; Trafi has been bidding here and there. On the sell-side, BP has been offering, and Unipec is also selling. There has been bidding for Midland and Forties at the front of the curve which has supported the diff. Midland has been offered further down the curve, now setting the curve. There was some Forties bidding at the back earlier in the week, but this was not maintained.
