The Officials: Is Dubai losing steam?

The physical window was much more active on the sellside today than recent sessions; the sellers were in the driving seat. Chevron was whacking bids left, right and centre. Reliance and Exxon also featured heavily on the sellside, hitting bids from the likes of Totsa and Mitsui, as usual. This culminated in Reliance declaring a cargo of Upper Zakum to Mitsui, while Repsol nominated one of the same to Totsa for their own convergence. But premiums are coming in, back down to $1.55/bbl. It seems like Dubai is starting to deflate. In paper markets, prompt structures have weakened over the month: the Nov/Dec swaps spread has fallen from 60c on the 7 October to 28c today.
