ANGOLA
* Traders were said to be waiting for their respective term allocations of December-loading crude following the release of the monthly loading programme the previous day, meaning spot activity was muted.

* Angola will export 46 cargoes of crude in December, two trade sources said on Tuesday. That is the same number as November and amounts to a slightly lower daily rate.

* For details, see

* Most of November’s cargoes are sold.

NIGERIA
* After a burst of activity late last week, driven in part by Indian demand, spot trade has cooled off somewhat this week, one trader said.

* Glencore was still said to be offering Qua Iboe at a premium of around $1.70 a barrel to dated Brent, above recent indications of closer to $1.60-1.65, while ENI was said to be offering Bonga at similar levels.

* The December programme is due to emerge later this week but almost 20 cargoes of November-loading Nigerian crude was still available for sale.

RELATED NEWS
* Nigeria’s state oil company on Wednesday denied parliament’s accusation that it had a $3.5 billion fund to surreptitiously subsidise imports of gasoline.
