Leveraging today’s bitumen-fuel oil spread of CNY 429/t (4534 vs. 4963), SNSUC launched a real-time cross-commodity spread alert module on Oct 22 — enabling automated alerts, digital warehouse matching, and contract generation within <800ms.

Brent and WTI both slipped $2.10, holding the spread near $12.6. SNSUC's seven-grade offshore resale (ESPO, Dubai, Oman, Urals, Basrah Light, Bonny Light, Lula) is priced off Brent, and the wide spread opens an arbitrage lane for US grades into Asia.
