> Asian crude imports have recovered to pre-war levels, but refined fuel imports remain about 10% below pre-war volumes. Diesel shortages persist due to damaged Middle Eastern refineries, Russian export disruptions from Ukrainian strikes, and reduced Hormuz product flows. Analysts expect the crunch to extend well into 2027.
