China’s Planned Product Exports Down 5.1% in June: OilChem
OIL PRODUCTS
China’s refined product oil exports are planned at 3.72m mt in June, a fall of 5.1% on the month, according to OilChem.
- The exports will be comprised of 0.84m mt of gasoil, 0.9m mt of gasoline, and 1.98m mt of jet fuel.
- Production at state-owned refineries is projected to remain constrained by the maintenance season which started in April.
- Moreover, demand in the main export outlets in Asia is lacklustre, while refineries in the likes of Indonesia and Vietnam have resumed domestic production.
- Middle Eastern gasoil is also expected to flow to Asia due to poor arbitrage economics with Europe.
- These factors combined are likely to squeeze both available export cargoes and export margins for Chinese refineries.
