US Cash Products-USG, NYH diesel down as export demand off

NEW YORK, May 12 (Reuters) - Ultra-low sulfur diesel differentials on Monday added to last week's losses in the New York Harbor and U.S. Gulf Coast as export interest waned, traders said.

Gasolines were mixed east of the Rockies, with Gulf Coast differentials losing ground due to ample supply in the market.

In the Midwest, values were flat to lower after last week's rally. Traders reported that anticipation of fresh supplies from the U.S. Gulf Coast would likely keep values flat for the rest of the week.
