Summary
The move has further tightened global diesel supplies at a time when refining capacity in the Middle East has yet to fully recover, while concerns are resurfacing over a potential disruption to shipping through the Strait of Hormuz. Against this backdrop, South Korean refiners are seeking to capitalize on stronger overseas demand while maintaining sufficient domestic inventories, closely watching developments in the Middle East, global oil prices and the won-dollar exchange rate. Russia, the world's second-largest diesel exporter after the United States, imposed a temporary ban on diesel exports on July 8 after repeated Ukrainian drone attacks disrupted refinery operations and triggered domestic fuel shortages.
Furthermore, South Korea is the world's fifth-largest refining nation, with a combined refining capacity of about 3.2 million barrels per day.
