* Qua Iboe valued at dated plus $2.30-$2.60
* Around nine Angolan cargoes in November remaining
* Talk of Angolan cargoes being re-offered
LONDON, Oct 2 (Reuters) - Nigerian crude differentials held steady on Tuesday, below peaks reached last week during a buying spree led by Indian refiners, while remaining Angolan cargoes were expected to weaken.
Most Angolan cargoes for November have found homes, although cargoes of grades including Pazflor and Girassol were still available. There was talk that Chinese buyers were re-offering other cargoes, which could put pressure on values.
NIGERIA
* Qua Iboe: Offered at dated plus $2.70 to $2.75 and considered more likely to trade between plus $2.30 and plus $2.60.
* Bonny: Valued at a 30-40 cent discount to Qua because of unreliable loading dates.
