What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

China suspended refined-product exports around the Golden Week holiday. Concurrently, India adjusted its diesel export levy, positioning itself as a major global supplier. In September, diesel and gasoil exports from the Middle East reached 1.12 million barrels per day, marking a 36% year-over-year decline, and flows to Europe were roughly 50% lower.
