The Officials: Welcome to the pain zone!

19 September 2025: 09:30 BST

The Dubai mega battle continues and the ebb and flow have not been favouring the shorts! Mercuria has been the headline seller of UZ, trying to pummel that baby down. But the first two weeks of trading were unkind to the fast and furious with Vitol and the Chinese having the upper hand. But Mercuria reloaded and has more lives than a cat. As Mercuria sold, the physical premium plunged 36c to $2.64, the lowest in September trading! It’s only the second day it’s been below $3, after Wednesday’s dip to $2.98. But it looks like too little, too late… for Mercuria. “They hurting”, said a trading source!
