Some Chinese Refiners to Receive No Saudi Term Crude Next Month
Some Chinese oil refiners are due to receive no term crude shipments from Saudi Arabia next month, as weaker domestic demand coincides with tighter Saudi export availability.
由于中国国内需求疲软，同时沙特出口供应趋紧，一些中国炼油厂预计下个月将不会接收来自沙特的任何原油合同货物。
At least two refiners requested no cargoes, while others asked for a delivery but have so far received no provisional allocation, Bloomberg reported, citing traders with direct knowledge of the matter.
7月14日，据彭博社报道，知情交易员表示，至少有两家中国炼油厂主动暂停接收下月任何沙特货物，另一些炼厂虽然提交了申请，但尚未收到初步配额。
Global oil markets have been thrown into renewed uncertainty this month as tensions between the United States and Iran escalated, raising concerns over the security of shipping through the Strait of Hormuz. At the same time, Chinese demand for imported crude has weakened significantly since the conflict escalated, easing pressure on regional suppliers such as Saudi Arabia and helping to limit gains in oil prices.
本月，随着美国和伊朗之间的紧张局势升级，全球石油市场再次陷入不确定性，引发市场对霍尔木兹海峡航运安全的担忧。与此同时，自冲突升级以来，中国对进口原油的需求大幅减弱，这缓解了沙特地区供应商的压力，并抑制油价涨幅。
China imported 29.3 million tons of crude in June, down 41% from a year earlier and marking the country's lowest monthly import volume in nearly ten years, according to customs data released on Tuesday.
根据周二海关总署公布的数据，中国6月份进口原油2930万吨，比上年同期骤降41%，创近十年来最低的月度进口量。
Over the past three months, Saudi Aramco's monthly crude allocations to China have ranged between 10 million and 20 million barrels. The volumes are significantly lower than a year earlier, reflecting disruptions to cargoes loaded from Ras Tanura following the effective closure of the Strait of Hormuz, as well as weaker Chinese demand.
过去三个月，沙特阿美每月向中国销售原油规模在1000万至2000万桶之间。这一数字远低于去年同期水平，反映出霍尔木兹海峡实际关闭后，从沙特拉斯坦努拉装船的货物运输受到干扰，以及中国需求疲软。
