LONDON, Feb 21 (Reuters) - Nigeria's preliminary loading
programmes for April continued to emerge, after differentials
were weighed down in the last trading cycle by sluggish demand
in both Eastern and Western markets.
* Nigeria will export seven cargoes of Bonny Light in April,
with volumes set to fall to 228,000 barrels per day (bpd) from
245,000 bpd in March.
* Exports of Forcados were set at nine cargoes or 283,000
bpd in April, up slightly from 279,000 bpd in March.
* A single cargo of Yoho is due to be exported by Nigeria's
NNPC on April 9-10.
* Equatorial Guinea's Zafiro is set to export two cargoes
for loading on April 1 and 3.
* A relatively high glut of cargoes remains from Nigeria's
March programme as Indian and Indonesian buying failed to absorb
cargoes spurned by European markets in favor of North Sea and
Russian grades.
* Angolan cargoes for March had just about sold out, traders
said, amid the lowest sale prices in over a year as Chinese
buying largely halted amid economic distruption from the
coronavirus outbreak.
