About "Asia Products (Japanese)" report

[Daily] Asia Products (Japanese)

We provide oil product prices, supply/demand fundamentals, and news from Northeast Asia—primarily Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, and China—as well as Singapore and the Middle East. We analyze the impact of export trends to Europe and the U.S. on Asia, and in addition to import prices for Japan, we also publish export prices and supply/demand trends for oil products loaded in Japan. For naphtha, we provide information on contracts and supply/demand situations for shipments loaded in the Middle East and those arriving in Japan and South Korea.

Subscribers' comments: "That's why we are reading the report!"

  • ・I use it as a reference for transactions because the publication of tender and contract information, particularly for Northeast Asia, is both timely and accurate.
  • ・The coverage of refinery conditions in Northeast Asia and product cargo shipment status is excellent. The assessments also reflect actual market prices, which I highly value.

Subscribers' comments: "That's how we use the report!"

  • ・The statistical information provided is helpful for understanding the big picture.
  • ・There are few sources where I can find transaction prices for SR-type vessels shipping from South Korea to Japan, so I use this as a reference.
  • ・The premiums for South Korean and Japanese-loaded products assessed by RIM serve as a market benchmark, so I use them as a reference when selling our own products.
  • ・It allows us to calculate the prices at which Japanese trading companies and oil companies import, which serves as a basis for negotiating purchase prices.
