The divergence matters more than the headline move: fuel oil's gain alongside a decline in low-sulfur fuel oil suggests the bid is concentrated in the high-sulfur barrel rather than a broad energy bid, a spread dynamic that typically reflects shifting marine fuel demand or supply preferences. Iron ore's softer close points to bulk materials trading on their own fundamentals rather than a shared macro impulse. Whether the high-sulfur premium continues to widen against low-sulfur is the open question worth tracking.
