North Sea Crude-Forties slips to lowest since mid-2017

Reuters - UK Focus

LONDON, Feb 14 (Reuters) - North Sea Forties crude differentials weakened on Wednesday to the lowest since mid-2017.

Gunvor sold a cargo from floating storage. Such sales are often seen as a sign of a plentifully supplied market.

PLATTS WINDOW

* Forties: Glencore (Frankfurt: 8GC.F - news) bought from Gunvor a cargo loading on a ship-to-ship transfer basis from the Blue Pride on Feb. 28-March 2 at dated Brent minus 65 cents.

Gunvor also offered a Feb. 25-27 cargo at dated Brent minus 70 cents, meaning on average Forties was worth dated minus 70 cents, equalling the mid-2017 low reached on Monday. (Reporting by Alex Lawler; Editing by Susan Fenton)
