Story summary

China is set to resume October refined fuel exports after a brief halt during the Golden Week holiday, according to four traders familiar with the matter. The move will help ease tight global fuel markets. China has approved October exports of diesel, gasoline, and jet fuel combined at around 3.7 million metric tons.

Since March, China had been curbing fuel exports to safeguard domestic supplies amid disruptions caused by the Iran war, which affected crude oil flows and refinery production. However, between July and September, controls were relaxed. Typically, Beijing regulates fuel exports through a quota system but has recently tightened oversight by vetting shipments on a monthly basis.
