VISCO

Measure related to viscosity, used to describe flow characteristics of certain oils or fuels affecting handling and specs.

VISCO represents the price differential between different fuel oil grades, commonly 180cst and 380cst, in the physical and financial trading of petroleum products.

For example, a refinery may trade 180cst fuel oil at a premium to 380cst depending on demand, quality, and regional availability. VISCO differentials help structure hedges and refine pricing.

VISCO is widely used in energy markets to manage risk, compare product values, and assess refinery margins. Traders, analysts, and refiners rely on it for accurate valuation and strategy.

Understanding VISCO allows participants to navigate market spreads, optimize physical trading, and structure effective hedging and arbitrage strategies.
