LONDON: About 60 percent of Angola's August programme has been absorbed by the market, one trader said.
July loading cargoes of Nigerian crude were still lingering and high offer levels continued to keep buyers at bay.
Forcados, Bonny Light and Brass River exports remained under force majeure.
There was still no sign of a programme for Nigeria's Erha grade for either July or August. The August programmes for Bonga and Brass River had also yet to emerge.
