Diesel exports at record high in July

China's diesel exports rebounded to a record in July as severe flooding in some parts of the country curbed domestic fuel demand. The world's largest energy consumer exported 1.53 million metric tons of diesel last month, a 39 percent jump from June and beating the previous record in May, according to data posted on Sunday on the website of the General Administration of Customs. Shipments averaged about 368,190 barrels a day. While gasoline exports in July slipped from a record the previous month, they more than doubled from last year to 970,000 tons.
