— Russia increased its crude oil exports in June to a record level, according to Bloomberg.The agency reports that Russia increased its maritime crude oil supplies to a record 4.13 million b/d (a four-week period until June 28). The volume of oil at sea has risen to 133 million barrels (+34 compared to mid-April), and there are traffic jams at Mersa el-Kabir (Egypt) and in the Riau area (Singapore).At the same time, the gross value of exports has fallen to its lowest level since March, when prices began to rise. Urals in the Baltic and Black Seas is around 63 per barrel, and ESPO is 74. Prices in the Baltic are now half of what they were in early May.The agency notes that Ukraine's attacks on refineries (Ufa, Yaroslavl, Slavyansk-on-Kuban, Moscow) have prompted the redirection of raw materials for export. Supplies to Asia reached 3.98 million b/d; to China - 1.08 million b/d, to India - 0.74 million b/d, and another 2.13 million b/d with no final destination.Against the backdrop of sluggish demand from China, Moscow will likely have to offer large discounts, according to Bloomberg.@Intelslava
