Asia's benchmark gasoline margin narrowed its unusual discount to Brent crude on Thursday but concerns of a persistent supply glut continued to weigh on market sentiment with excess supplies struggling to find an outlet, trade sources said.
The benchmark Singapore 92 RON gasoline crack against Brent crude edged 52 cents a barrel higher to a discount of $1.03 a barrel on Thursday.

Singapore light distillate inventories averaged 13.331 million barrels per week so far this year, compared to the 2017 average of 12.736 million barrels.
