SINGAPORE, May 8 (Reuters) - Asia's 10ppm sulphur gasoil and jet fuel margins were little changed on Monday amid thin trade, even as crude prices strengthened. Refining margins for 10ppm sulphur gasoil closed trading at $14.54 a barrel, marginally higher than the previous session's close of $14.50 a barrel. On the other hand, jet fuel refining margins dipped to $14.18 a barrel, from the previous session's close of $14.25 a barrel. Cash differentials for 10ppm sulphur gasoil fell to minus 35 cents a barrel, from minus 27 cents a barrel in the previous session. Asia's regrade value JETREG10SGMc1 was at minus 36 cents by the end of the trading session, compared with the previous session's close of minus 25 cents.
