Market conditions: In October, tight tonnage supply persisted in the Atlantic, partly facilitated by continued spot cargo availability arising from further reloads from Spain. This was compounded early in the month by delays to cargo discharges in Argentina, which also served to reduce the supply of open vessels. Yet east of Suez, spot cargoes were scarce which, along with softer demand in such countries as China, led to limited fixing. In addition, with Asia-Pacific gas prices easing, many end-users held off from purchasing cargoes in the hope of securing them at a later date at lower levels.
