Singapore’s base oils exports stayed lower than usual for a second week as a slowdown in shipments to southeast Asia and China outweighed a pick-up in flows to India.Total exports fell to around 27,000t in the week to October 4, government data showed.The volume fell from more than 33,000t the previous week and from average weekly levels of around 37,000t over the past year.Exports of less than 8,000t to southeast Asia were the lowest weekly volume in almost two months.There were almost no exports to China for a second week.The slowdown cut shipments to China to close to 16,000t over the past four weeks, down from typical levels of more than 35,000t so far this year.Exports of almost 15,000t to India sustained total shipments over the last four weeks at more than 32,000t.Exports over a four-week period held above that level since the beginning of September. They had previously mostly held below that level since April..Singapore’s Aug base oils exports rise
