  • Meanwhile gasoil production is down 6.68% on the month and declining by 9.22% year-on-year.
  • Capacity utilisation at state-owned refineries is seen down by 1.50 percentage points on the month, although idled capacity due to maintenance will fall to 2m mtpa.
  • Among the independent refineries, idled capacity is seen at 69.85m mtpa in June, stable compared to May.
  • China’s daily gasoline consumption is seen at 443k mt/d in June, up 0.35% on the month, but down 3.82% on the year.
