China has partially lifted its fuel export restrictions imposed earlier this year amid a global fuel supply crunch, allowing refiners to export 2.7 million tons of oil derivatives this month with some flexibility to roll volumes into September.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Climate Tech, and 1 source has reported it.

◆ The Wire takeaway

China is reopening its fuel export market just as global supply tightens, altering regional fuel trade flows and creating export opportunities for refiners able to move product quickly. You need to rethink supply chain dependencies that assumed China would keep exports minimal.
