Contract Purpose

This differential contract allows market participants to:

  • Trade the price spread between Singapore 92 RON gasoline and Japan Naphtha (MOPJ) directly
  • Hedge refining margins for gasoline production in Asia, using naphtha as the primary feedstock
  • Manage exposure to both product and feedstock price movements across two key Asian benchmarks
  • Implement strategies that reflect the economics of converting naphtha into gasoline in the Asian market

Market Significance

Refining Margin Benchmark: Provides a direct tool for tracking and managing the profitability of producing gasoline from naphtha in Asia

Regional Price Indicator: Captures the economic relationship between naphtha supply (as a feedstock) and gasoline demand in the Asian market

Industry Standard Conversion: Uses a standard conversion factor (9 bbl of naphtha per metric tonne) to reflect real-world trading and refining economics

Trading Benefits

  • Margin Management: Simplifies hedging or trading refining margins between naphtha and gasoline with a single contract
  • Feedstock-Product Link: Offers exposure to both gasoline and naphtha prices in one instrument, ideal for refiners and traders
  • Efficient Risk Control: Directly addresses the risk of price movements between feedstock and finished product
  • Capital Efficiency: Reduces margin requirements compared to holding separate positions in both legs

This contract is especially valuable for Asian refiners, petrochemical producers, and trading firms active in the gasoline and naphtha markets. It provides a focused tool for managing the spread between these two vital benchmarks, supporting both operational hedging and speculative trading strategies in the region’s dynamic energy sector.
