China may cut fuel exports in October as inventories hit multi-year lows

China is likely to reduce fuel exports in October as domestic gasoline and diesel inventories have fallen to multi-year lows, potentially tightening global fuel supply. August exports recovered to 6.01 million tons, up 12.7% year-on-year, after Beijing lifted export restrictions imposed during the Strait of Hormuz blockage. The reduction could add upward pressure on global fuel prices, though the exact scale and timing remain uncertain.
