SINGAPORE, Dec 11 (Reuters) - Onshore fuel oil stockpiles in Singapore oil storage hub climbed for a third consecutive week, reaching their highest level in three months, data showed on Thursday.
The inventories STKRS-SIN rose 2.0% week-on-week to 26.06 million barrels (about 4.10 million metric tons) in the week to December 10, data from Enterprise Singapore showed. O/SING1
Fuel oil inflows into onshore storage gained 33.5% at about 940,000 tons. Most of these volumes hailed from Indonesia, Brazil and Saudi Arabia.
Meanwhile, outflows totalled 520,000 tons, with most volumes headed for China.
Apart from high incoming supplies, slow demand from the bunkering sector also contributed to the inventory build, some market sources said.
Inventories continued to hold above this year's average of 22.6 million barrels per week. This has been weighing on spot markets, keeping cash differentials in discounts. FUEL/A
