Asia Distillates-Gasoil margin closes at over three-week highs
SINGAPORE, Oct 4 (Reuters) -Refining margin for gasoil recovered to its highest in more than three weeks, largely supported by expectations of lower Chinese export supplies.
The 10ppm sulphur gasoil crack GO10SGCKMc1 closed above $14 a barrel on Friday, posting a weekly uptick of about 5%.
Meanwhile, gasoil cash differential GO10-SIN-DIF held largely stable amid rangebound trades, though backwardation narrowed at the prompt months.
