Oil prices rose after reports emerged that Chinese refiners had suspended fuel exports for October, a move said to be aimed at protecting domestic fuel supplies.
Brent crude, the international benchmark, climbed back above $100 a barrel following the reports, according to CNBC. The suspension, if confirmed, would reduce the volume of refined fuel reaching international markets from one of the world's largest refining hubs.
Market reaction
Traders have been closely watching supply signals from major producing and refining regions, and news of a Chinese export halt added fresh upward pressure to prices already influenced by other global supply dynamics. Analysts noted that any sustained reduction in Chinese fuel exports could tighten global supply in the near term.
Neither Chinese refiners nor government authorities have issued detailed public comment confirming the scope or duration of the reported export suspension.
