China’s Refined Oil Exports Fall 9% on Month in July: OilChem

OIL PRODUCTS

China’s exports of refined products – namely gasoline, gasoil, and jet fuel – totalled 2.55m mt in July, according to OilChem.

  • This represents a fall of 8.93% on the month and is below the planned level of 3.25m mt.
  • By product type: gasoline – 0.86m mt, gasoil – 0.77m mt – jet fuel/kerosene – 0.92 mt.
  • The low export levels were driven by continued weakness in export profits, averaging averaged 501 y/mt (~$70/mt) for gasoil and 439 y/mt (~$61.50/mt) for gasoline in July.
  • Nonetheless, July’s export levels improved relative to June which had temporarily turned negative, OilChem added.
  • China’s refined product exports in August are expected to remain low as profit margins remain depressed and export quotas deplete.
