Russia and China diesel export fluctuations

Overview

In late September 2026, Russia reported a diesel fuel surplus, with production exceeding storage capacity by 15%. This excess supply was being directed toward Central Asian nations, including significant increases in shipments to Mongolia and Kyrgyzstan.

By October, the situation shifted toward a tightening global fuel market. Russia extended its diesel export ban through October 31. Simultaneously, China suspended most refined fuel exports, including gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel, to prioritize domestic supply security following a deterioration in its fuel stocks. These combined restrictions, alongside refinery disruptions and Middle East instability, have increased risks to international transportation and heating supplies.
