  • Market: Oil Products

In this expert‑led discussion, Samar Niazi (Editorial Manager, Asia Oil, Argus), Aldric Chew (Senior Editor, Oil Products, Argus), and Cara Wong (Associate Editor, Oil Products, Argus) unpack how Middle East supply disruptions are driving volatility in crude and refined products across Asia‑Pacific.

Key topics discussed:

  • Disruption to crude and refined product flows due to the Middle East conflict and partial closure of the Strait of Hormuz, impacting Asia‑Pacific supply chains
  • Severe volatility in naphtha, jet fuel, gasoil, and gasoline markets, driven by refinery cuts, export restrictions, and limited replacement options
  • Shifts in government and corporate strategies, including energy security measures, alternative sourcing (e.g. Russian barrels), and demand management across Asia
