OIL PRODUCTS

China’s gasoil market is expected to gain momentum some in July from rising speculative demand amid speculations of improved consumption levels in August and September, OilChem said.

  • Daily gasoil consumption in July is estimated at 548k mt/d, flat on June and down 6.1% year-on-year.
  • In the logistics sector, consumption is projected to remain largely unchanged, although the popularity of LNG heavy-duty trucks will persist.
  • Gasoil consumption in the agricultural sector will fall to normal seasonal levels, OilChem added.
  • Regarding manufacturing projects, demand will decline in North China due to high seasonal temperatures, although they are likely to gain support from a potential rebound in the south after the rainy season ends.
  • Daily gasoil production is seen at 579k b/d in July, up 1.9% on the month, but down 8.1% on the year.
  • China’s gasoil exports are planned at 0.65m mt due to narrower export profits.
  • This will keep the market oversupplied, but that is normal during the low season, OilChem added.
