China is significantly reducing its crude oil demand in Asia to offset decreased shipments from the Middle East caused by the Iran war, with July imports at 8.41 million barrels per day, 24.3% lower than the previous year.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Climate Tech.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

China's drastic cut in crude imports shakes up Asia's oil demand, creating gaps and opportunities in supply chains you can explore this quarter. Your oil or energy venture should reorient its market strategy to where these shifts open doors or close off supply routes.
