หลังจากดีมานการใช้น้ำม้นจากจีน มีมากจนผลิตเองไม่พอใช้ต้องนำเข้า
มาบัดนี้ การใช้น้ำม้นดีเซลในจีนลดลง เนื่องจากตอนนี้จีนกำลังจะเปลี่ยนไปใช้รถไฟฟ้ากันแล้ว
น้ำม้นดีเซลเหลือใช้และกำลังจะส่งออกมหาศาล
PTT จะเจ๊งไหมครับ
China Is Sitting on an Ocean of Diesel Fuel
Add diesel to the commodities flooding global markets from China.
The nation exported a record volume of the fuel last month after already shipping unprecedented amounts of steel and aluminum overseas. The weakest economic growth since 1990 is sapping domestic demand for commodities, while refineries, mills and smelters grapple with excess capacity after years of expansion.
“A lot of it has to do with slowing demand at a time when companies had plans for much a better demand environment, so capacities had been increased,” said Ivan Szpakowski, a commodities strategist at Citigroup Inc. in Hong Kong. “As demand slows, that’s led to an overcapacity in the domestic market and producers have sought to export the surplus.”
Exports of Chinese raw materials are exacerbating a global glut that drove prices to the lowest since the 2008 financial crisis and prompted steel and aluminum producers around the world to protest against the deluge. While diesel exports are principally a risk to Asian refiners, the additional shipments threaten to worsen a glut that already extends from Singapore to Europe and the U.S.
Refining profits, or cracks, from making diesel in the Asian oil trading hub of Singapore have shrunk about 30 percent from a year ago as exports from China, India and the Middle East create an oversupply, according to Ehsan Ul-Haq, an analyst at KBC Advanced Technologies in London.
"The world is becoming an ocean of diesel," said Ul-Haq. "Demand in China is not as high as it was previously expected. Chinese refiners are becoming more export oriented."
China’s August shipments of the fuel, also known as gasoil, surged 77 percent from a year earlier to a record 722,516 metric tons, or about 175,000 barrels a day, according to data released this week by the General Administration of Customs. They may rise to about 250,000 barrels a day later this year, according to ICIS China and JBC Energy GmbH, industry consultants.
"Inevitably, this should prevent gasoil cracks in Asia from going higher than they already are," said David Wech, managing director of Vienna-based JBC.
The surplus may persist if the scandal over Volkswagen AG diesel engine emissions tests hurts demand growth in the longer term, according to Gareth Lewis-Davies, a senior energy commodity strategist at BNP Paribas in London. The German auto-maker was found to have tried to dupe regulators and consumers about emissions of diesel engines installed in 11 million cars worldwide.
"If, as a consequence of the Volkswagen issue, growth of distillate demand is affected, it means it will take longer for the current overhang in distillate markets to dissipate,"Lewis-Davies said by phone. “It has negative implications for distillates only in the longer term.”
Creating Headaches
China’s apparent diesel demand was at the second-weakest pace in a year in August, growing at 3.6 percent from the same month in 2014. By contrast, gasoline demand surged 19 percent, data compiled by Bloomberg show.
"The divergence between strong gasoline demand and weak diesel demand domestically is creating headaches for Chinese refineries," Amrita Sen, chief oil market analyst at Energy Aspects Ltd., a London-based researcher, said in an e-mail. "This underpinned record diesel exports in August, a trend that is likely to continue although run cuts should ease the pace of exports somewhat early in the fourth quarter."
China’s economic expansion this year is struggling to reach the government’s target of about 7 percent, with Bloomberg’s monthly gross domestic product tracker at 6.64 percent in August. Industrial output last month missed economists’ forecasts, while investment in the first eight months increased at the weakest pace since 2000.
As growth slows, exports of other industrial commodities have increased. Aluminum shipments rose 22 percent in the first eight months of 2015 compared with the same period a year earlier, customs data showed. The country’s smelters have been increasing output as lower-cost producers build new capacity. Steel product exports over the same period climbed 27 percent.
Singapore was the destination for more than half of China’s diesel exports last month, with shipments climbing 56 percent in the first eight months of 2015. The country’s onshore inventories of middle distillates, which include diesel, have surged to the highest level since 2011. Gasoil stockpiles in independent storage in Europe’s Amsterdam-Rotterdam-Antwerp oil-trading hub are the fullest since 2008, while the U.S. has the biggest distillate fuel inventories in almost four years.
"The Asian diesel market is increasingly oversupplied, with supply growth outpacing demand growth," said Si Min Ngai, a Singapore-based consultant at FGE, an energy researcher. "With China pushing out more volumes into the market, this adds to the Asian gasoil oversupply, which will inevitably pressure gasoil cracks."
