あらすじ・解説
In this episode of the Sparta Market Outlook Podcast, CEO Felipe Elink Schuurman joins analysts June, Neil, and Phil to explore global oil market dynamics, focusing on China's shifting crude import strategies. They discuss reduced Iranian crude imports due to U.S. sanctions, increased demand for alternative medium-sour crudes from West Africa and the Middle East, and the broader implications of OPEC+ decisions and geopolitical moves on crude grades.
The discussion also covers regional product markets, including naphtha, gasoline, and fuel oil. In the East, reduced Chinese gasoline exports are strengthening markets, though physical tightness remains uncertain. In the Atlantic Basin, the team analyses pad-level inventories and ARB movements, highlighting challenges and opportunities for European and U.S. exports. This episode offers actionable insights for navigating supply-demand dynamics and geopolitical uncertainty.
