China Halts Fuel Exports, Tightening Global Supply

China's refiners, including PetroChina, have halted fuel exports until further notice, canceling October gasoline and jet fuel cargoes. This follows a previous suspension in spring and early summer due to the Strait of Hormuz crisis, indicating a continued policy of prioritizing domestic supply. The move could tighten global fuel markets, especially for diesel and jet fuel, amid already constrained supply.

The primary objective appears to be securing domestic supply, though the full scope and duration remain unclear.
