LONDON, May 13 (Reuters) - Spot activity was slim on
Thursday as sellers turned their attention to fresh demand from
India, where refiners have been cutting runs as the COVID-19
wave there has hit fuel demand.
* India's IOC issued two west African crude tenders for the
first time in about three weeks. The refiner is looking for
end-June and early July loading cargoes. The tenders close May
19.
* At least 25 cargoes of Nigerian crude were still available
in June.
* Uruguay's ANCAP closed two tenders for crude, but the
winner had not yet emerged for a mid-July cargo and an early
August cargo.
