W. Africa Crude-Angolan offered in window

LONDON, June 10 (Reuters) - Spot activity was weak on Monday
as a sharp drop in light end margins kept buyers at bay while
Angolan crude was offered in the window in a rare move.

* Profit margins for making petroleum feedstock naphtha have
hit their weakest in over a decade in Asia and a seven-year low
in Europe as the global economy weakens and large-scale

grades are mostly light, sweet and have higher yields of those
products.
* Nigerian cargoes have struggled to sell after early month
price indications dissuaded customers, although traders said
offers were beginning to come down.
* Offer levels for Bonny Light and Qua Iboe were being heard
at around dated Brent plus $2.50.
* In the Platts window, Unipec offered a cargo of Mostarda
at dated Brent plus 20 cents a barrel loading July 28-29.
* Unipec also offered a cargo of Sangos at dated Brent plus
90 cents loading July 16-17.
