When it comes to powering ships or generating electricity,\u00a0fuel oil<\/a>\u00a0or bunker fuel is the preferred choice thanks to it being economical and readily available.<\/p>

Low-sulfur fuel oil today is highly utilised and traded as\u00a0new regulations from the International Maritime\u00a0<\/a>Organisation<\/a>\u00a0(IMO) now limit sulfur in fuel oil down to only 0.5% S.<\/p>

This remnant from the distillation of oil is used primarily as a fuel source for marine vessels as well as generating electricity in certain situations. The fuel oil market is a thriving one with over 7 million barrels per day of total demand out of which\u00a03.5 million barrels come from ship bunkers<\/a>.<\/p>

China is one of the largest producers and consumers of low sulfur fuel oil, thanks to its expanding economy and allows traders to actively participate in the fuel oil markets.<\/p>

In the past, most fuel oil trading was done in the over-the-counter (OTC) markets through swaps between big companies, trading firms and producers, but now investors can participate in the markets as well.<\/p>

Producers, consumers and investors can now access the\u00a0low sulfur fuel oil markets in China<\/a>\u00a0through the Shanghai International Energy Exchange (INE) to hedge their positions, lock in margins as well as take directional positions.<\/p>

In this article, we will take you through everything you need to know about trading low-sulfur fuel oil as well as what affects its supply and demand.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

6 Things To Know About Low-Sulfur Fuel Oil Futures by Shanghai International Energy Exchange (INE)\n<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t
1. It Is Primarily Used In The Shipping Industry\n<\/h6>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

As international trade grows so does the shipping industry and its demand for low-sulfur fuel oil.<\/p>

When COVID-19 hit, not only did the oil price drop but shipping demand also fell drastically, this caused the demand for fuel oil to tank as well as\u00a0more than 50% of the fuel needs <\/a>come<\/a>\u00a0from fuel oil<\/a>.<\/p>

This means that any event that impacts the shipping industry will affect the price of fuel oil to a large degree.<\/p>

For example, a global boost in trade and economic growth will see a boom in shipping and thus possibly send the price of fuel oil higher.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\"A\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t
2. Demand Is Affected By Global Shipping & Trade Demand\n<\/h6>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

As fuel oil is primarily used by the shipping industry, its demand is also shaped by the rules and regulations mandated by the IMO.<\/p>

For example, the\u00a0IMO\u2019s sulfur cap decision<\/a>\u00a0is moving from heavy fuel oil with high sulfur concentration to low-sulfur fuel oil to power the ships.<\/p>

This is a global mandate which will affect the demand for low-sulfur fuel oil, increasing its demand in this case.\u00a0<\/p>

However,\u00a0rulings that allow a relaxation of sulfur rules<\/a>\u00a0will mean more shipping companies opting for the cheaper high sulfur fuel oil, this will lower demand and prices for the low-sulfur option.<\/p>

Traders will need to keep an eye on how shipping and fuel regulations evolve.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t
3. Demand Will Fluctuate As We Become More Environmental Conscious\n<\/h6>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

As the world moves toward more environmental solutions such as solar energy increases, it is important to understand that demand for low-sulfur fuel oil will vary.<\/p>

Ships today are burning heavy fuel oil to power their engines and with the move towards low-sulfur variants, low-sulfur fuel oil will benefit from the increase in demand.<\/p>

However, if ships begin to harness more alternative energy sources such as solar power, the overall demand for fuel will drop and this will impact low-sulfur fuel oil as well.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t
4. Fuel Oil Prices Are Correlated With The Supply & Demand For Crude Oil\n<\/h6>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

When it comes to fuel oil demand, it is correlated with countries that import and utilise the most crude oil. This is because crude oil has to be refined into its constituents, one of which is fuel oil.<\/p>

China, for example,\u00a0imports a total of over 12.8 million barrels of oil (and oil products) per day<\/a>, with Europe in second place importing 12.6 million barrels and the United States in 3rd place importing 7.8 million barrels a day.<\/p>

Traders and investors should understand the factors that affect the supply and demand of oil in these countries, especially during a time of conflict and sanctions, as this will affect the price of crude oil and by association, fuel oil.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t
5. Understanding China\u2019s Fuel Oil Market\n<\/h6>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Fuel oil is one of the most popular petroleum products utilised in China and mainly goes into the marine sector including shipping.<\/p>

It is important to note that China\u2019s domestic marine fuel market for the domestic-voyage segment comes from the country\u2019s domestic refineries and blending companies. However, the bonded fuel segment comes from international imports.<\/p>

When analyzing China\u2019s fuel oil market, it is important to\u00a0take into account the tax rebate policy for fuel oil exports<\/a>. There is currently a consumption tax of 30%, amongst others, on fuel oil but this might change in the future and should be carefully monitored.<\/p>

A tax reduction could mean more fuel imports could enter the country as demand increases.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

6. You Can Trade Low Sulfur Fuel Oil In The INE\n<\/h6>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Trading of low-sulfur fuel oil can be done on the\u00a0Shanghai International Energy Exchange or the\u00a0<\/a>\u4e0a\u6d77\u56fd\u9645\u80fd\u6e90\u4ea4\u6613\u4e2d\u5fc3\uff08INE\uff09<\/a>.<\/p>

Traders will be able to trade the product in contract sizes of 10 metric tons per lot, is priced in Yuan (RMB) and would have to put up a minimum trading margin of only 8% of the contract value.<\/p>

In addition, traders will also need to know that the contract can also be settled for physical delivery if there is a need to take physical custody of the fuel oil.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
