SINGAPORE, Oct 4 (Reuters) - Naphtha's prompt October/November inter-month premium dropped to a one-week low on Thursday because of concerns over a slower global economy.
The October/November timespread slipped another $1.25 to a $7.75 per tonne backwardation or the lowest since September 26, according to Reuters data.
Fuel oil's prompt October/November inter-month premium hovered near a 4-month low because of poor demand and an expected heavy flow of arbitrage cargoes in October.
Gasoil timespreads were mostly steady in early Thursday trade with the prompt October/November inter-month spread hovering near a 3-week high in a 62 cents per barrel backwardation.
Fixed-price swaps for all products weakened, with Brent crude
losing $2.12 to $108.55 per barrel by 0430 GMT from Wednesday's Asian close.
