@OilCfd You know this market: Chinese teapots have been the marginal buyers in the Dubai MoC for years. Two refiners outbidding each other is the world's largest importer doing its daily shopping. 6.6K views · 21 likes · 1 reposts · 1 replies 02 Sep 2026 · Open on X →

@OilCfd Iran's oil on water is almost gone. China coming back while SOH flows have been flat for weeks cause traffic in the Oman lanes is inherently limited cause the channel is too narrow 3.9K views · 27 likes · 0 reposts · 0 replies 02 Sep 2026 · Open on X →

What I thought was a mishap (wrong market timing from China) might hide other intent. There is systematic bidding from china everywhere, today's Dubai MoC (or what's left of it) was just two chinese outbidding eachother. The homemade oil futures broke loose yesterday. https://t.c 166.8K views · 416 likes · 64 reposts · 10 replies 02 Sep 2026 · Open on X →

VLCC operator Sinokor has “at least” 31 vessels in the area, of which 21 have been "AIS off" for over a day, might be there, might not… then they have another 14 vessels with the AIS off elsewhere in the world, which could be there…or could be here.. https://t.co/5sHC1hBUof 13K views · 117 likes · 15 reposts · 4 replies 25 Aug 2026 · Open on X →

Murban's cash premium just jumped $6/bbl to Dubai+$17, while Forties and Brent CFDs slipped. That's opened a rare Forties arb to the Far East, one that's normally shut. @JuneGoh_Sparta breaks down what's driving it.
