Russia’s diesel export ban deals fresh blow to strained energy market
Russia’s decision to ban diesel exports this week has roiled global energy markets, exacerbating shortages of the industrial fuel and sending prices soaring, even in countries that no longer buy the fuel from Moscow.

Why Russia Is Buying Gasoline From India and How It Compares to Domestic Fuel
At least 60,000 tons of automotive gasoline have been shipped from India to Russia. Two tankers carrying the first fuel cargoes have already departed, although the specific refinery that supplied them has not been disclosed. According to industry sources, Russia plans to import around 400,000 tons of gasoline each month from several countries, including Belarus. Peak gasoline demand during the summer reaches approximately 110,000 tons per day, meaning the planned imports would be sufficient to cover nearly four days of consumption. Earlier, Russian President Vladimir Putin described the country's fuel shortage as manageable rather than critical. He acknowledged that queues had formed at some filling stations and that motorists were not always able to purchase their preferred fuel grade. The government has established a special round-the-clock task force to monitor the situation.

— 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
