China Crude Stockpiles Hit Two Year High As US Strategic Reserve Drops To 40 Year Low
China's onshore crude oil stockpiles surged to a two-year high in May as demand failed to rise after the economy reopened, Kpler figures show. As a result, China could withdraw 20 million barrels from its stockpiles between June and August during a seasonal dip before purchases strengthen again in September, according to Energy Aspects. China's inventory capacity increased to 1.63 billion barrels in June from 1.55 billion a year earlier thanks to new refining capacity and storage facilities.
