China boosts June fuel exports to highest level in months
China is set to increase its fuel exports in June, following a rise in overseas shipments over the past two months. The government has also tightened controls on oil product exports, requiring individual approvals for each batch sent abroad. In April, Chinese fuel reached markets across Southeast Asia, Australia, and other regions. The following month, exports climbed to around 500,000 tons. Now, authorities plan to raise June’s shipments to 550,000 tons, with diesel and aviation fuel accounting for the bulk of the total.
Diesel export margins currently stand at $441.11 per ton, while gasoline—making up the remainder of June’s exports—offers higher margins of $588.14 per ton. Since April, regulators have imposed stricter oversight on fuel shipments. Every batch now requires separate government approval before leaving the country.
The June increase will push China’s fuel exports to their highest level in months. With diesel and aviation fuel leading the way, the move reflects both market demand and tighter export controls. Each shipment must now pass individual approval before reaching international buyers.
