The Officials: The EIA nobody expected!

21 May 2025: 16:30 BST

The window proceedings opened as you would expect this week: Exxon returned to offer Forties and Midland, while Glencore came back to bid Midland and BP made another appearance bidding Johan Sverdrup. BP wasn’t too fussy about freight either, bidding for both CIF and FOB cargoes. Totsa’s bids for Sverdrup also went unanswered. In fact, the only trade today came as Glencore lifted Exxon’s 2-6 June Forties offer at Dated +$0.65. Remember, this one was a CIF, so the physical differential slipped from yesterday’s strength back down to near flat at just 3c.
