LONDON, Nov 22 (Reuters) - Angolan January cargoes were on offer on Friday, while buying interest in Nigerian grades remained lacklustre.
* Two January cargoes of Angolan Dalia was on offer at dated Brent minus 50 cents on Friday, while a January Nemba cargo was on offer at dated minus $1.20.
* Traders last viewed nine or ten outstanding cargoes on the Angolan December loading schedule in recent days.
* A total of 35 cargoes Angolan cargoes will load in January.
* There were no fresh price discussions on Nigerian grades on Friday, a trade source said, with Bonny Light still viewed close to dated Brent plus $1.00.
* Around 25 Nigerian December cargoes remain unsold, a trade source said on Thursday.
* The overhang in West African December cargoes belies an uptick in middle distillate margins, and could be partially linked to year-end accounting practices impacting demand for late-November cargoes.
