October 10, 2026 | China News. China is preparing to resume exports of gasoline, diesel and jet fuel following a brief National Day holiday pause, according to traders cited by Reuters. The move could help regional markets facing tight fuel supplies, although the expected volumes may not eliminate broader shortages.
What traders reported
Industry sources said roughly 3.7 million metric tons of refined products had been approved for export in October. The figure compares with a little more than 4 million tons expected in September and represents reported approvals rather than a verified final shipment tally.
Why exports were paused
The temporary interruption coincided with China’s National Day holiday period. Export scheduling and quotas are closely watched because China is a major refiner and its shipments influence fuel availability in Asia.
How the figures compare with earlier months
Reuters cited customs figures showing combined exports of gasoline, diesel and jet fuel down 21% year on year in the first eight months of 2026, to about 19 million tons. That decline provides context for the market’s interest in October shipments.
Why regional markets care
Additional exports can offer buyers more supply options, particularly when geopolitical disruptions affect refining and transport elsewhere. Actual price effects depend on demand, shipping routes and how quickly approved cargoes are delivered.
What remains uncertain
Traders’ expectations can change. Official export statistics and completed cargo shipments will offer a clearer picture of October’s outcome.
