Singapore's oil product inventories slump to near 13-year low

Oil product stocks in Singapore, Asia's key trading hub, fell to their lowest level in nearly 13 years, driven by a sharp drawdown in residual fuel inventories. The decline comes as the Middle East conflict continues, highlighting tighter regional fuel balances and geopolitically driven supply risk. The report is largely factual, but the inventory slump is a mildly negative signal for refined product availability.
