NEWS

Asia is expected to import a record volume of fuel oil from Russia in March after the U.S. eased sanctions, shipping data showed as of Thursday, ahead of expected tighter supplies from next month caused by the U.S.-Israeli war on Iran.

ExxonMobil, BP and Vitol are shipping a record volume of oil products to Australia from the United States in March, shipping data from trading sources shows, filling a gap left by the loss of regular supplies from Asia as the Iran conflict disrupts supplies.

U.S. President Donald Trump said an angry Israel had "violently lashed out" and attacked Iran's major gas field, a significant escalation in the U.S.-Israeli war, but said Israel would not make further such attacks unless Iran retaliated.

The discount for U.S. crude futures versus Brent on Wednesday hit the widest in 11 years, as attacks on Middle Eastern oil infrastructure drove the global benchmark higher while rising supply in the U.S. set the stage for a jump in oil exports.
