As of June 09, a correlation of MABUX MBP Index (Market Bunker Prices) vs MABUX DBP Index (Digital Bunker Prices Benchmark) in four largest global hubs showed that 380 HSFO fuel remained undervalued in all selected ports: from minus $ 26 in Houston (minus $ 23 a day earlier) to minus $ 37 (minus $ 42) in Rotterdam and minus $ 47 (minus $ 48) in Singapore The most significant change in the MBP / DBP Index ratio was recorded in Rotterdam (minus $ 5).
VLSFO, according to MABUX DBP Index, was also underestimated in all ports on 09 June, ranged from minus $ 4 in Houston (unchanged from the day before) and minus $ 22 (minus $ 24) in Rotterdam to minus $ 42 (unchanged) in Fujairah and minus $ 43 (unchanged) in Singapore.
