# International Energy News Briefing 9/11: China’s Diesel Export Volume Falls

> Analysts at Energy Aspects expect China’s diesel exports in November to be about 580,000 tonnes, 400,000 tonnes below their previous estimate, as falling domestic inventories limit export availability amid a global diesel crunch. The briefing also reports a steep weekly decline in crude prices and notes that Indian state oil company ONGC is negotiating to take over operations at two Venezuelan oil-and-gas projects.

## Why it matters

Reduced Chinese diesel exports tighten available seaborne fuel supply and could support diesel prices and freight costs, raising transport expenses for feed buyers. The lower crude-price move may partly offset that pressure on fuel costs.
