據烴加工網4月16日報道，亞洲航空燃料精煉利潤連續第二個交易日下跌，因擔心新冠疫情在幾個市場的再度封鎖將抑制航空需求復蘇。

　　在亞洲交易時段內，航空燃料的精煉利潤（即價差）較迪拜原油每桶下跌4.59美元，較周四下跌15美分。 根據Refinitiv Eikon數據顯示，本周航空燃料價差增加了10％，但仍比一年中同期的十年季節性平均值低63％。

　　盡管一些國內航線已經出現了少量需求，但由于亞洲許多地區出現了新的疫情浪潮，邊境封鎖時間延長，大部分國際航班仍停飛。一位駐新加坡的交易員表示，不同行業的人仍然盡可能避免商務旅行，而許多家庭并沒有制定乘飛機旅行的計劃，因為接種疫苗的年齡層不同，沒有人愿意讓沒有接種疫苗的年輕人群冒險。

　　據市場觀察人士稱，由于精煉利潤率下降，煉油廠一直限制產量，因此該地區的航空燃料供應有限，但需求持續疲軟繼續抑制市場人氣。航空燃料的現金折扣較周五新加坡的報價為每桶36美分，而一天前為每桶62美分。

　　ARA庫存-根據荷蘭咨詢公司Insights Global的數據顯示，在截至4月15日的當周，阿姆斯特丹-鹿特丹-安特衛普(ARA)煉油和倉儲中心獨立持有的柴油庫存下降2.6%，至230萬噸。ARA航空燃油庫存下降4.6%，至86.2萬噸。

　　Asia Distillates-Jet cracks drop as aviation sector continues to struggle

　　Asian refining margins for jet fuel dropped for a second straight session, weighed by worries that renewed coronavirus lockdowns in several markets would dampen aviation demand recovery.

　　Refining margins, or cracks, for jet fuel dropped to $4.59 per barrel over Dubai crude during Asian trading hours, 15 cents lower from Thursday. Jet cracks have gained 10% this week, but still remain 63% lower than the ten-year seasonal average for this time of the year, Refinitiv Eikon data showed.

　　While pockets of demand have emerged from some domestic routes, a majority of international flights remain grounded due to prolonged border restrictions amid fresh virus waves in many parts of Asia. Business travel is still being avoided as much as possible across sectors, while a lot of families are not making plans to fly as vaccinations are based on different age groups and nobody wants to risk the younger ones, who are not vaccinated, a Singapore-based trader said.

　　Jet fuel supplies in the region are limited as refiners have kept a cap on production due to weaker refining margins, but persistent weakness in demand continues to put a damper on sentiment, market watchers said. Cash discounts for jet fuel were at 36 cents a barrel to Singapore quotes on Friday, compared with a discount of 62 cents per barrel a day earlier.

　　ARA INVENTORIES - Gasoil stocks held independently in the Amsterdam-Rotterdam-Antwerp (ARA) refining and storage hub dropped 2.6% to 2.3 million tons in the week to April 15, data from Dutch consultancy Insights Global showed. - The data showed ARA jet fuel inventories fell 4.6% to 862,000 tons.
