OilPrice.com: Chinese Refiners Rush To Stock Up On Crude Oil
Chinese refiners have increased their crude oil purchases ahead of the year’s end as they see higher fuel exports in the final months of the year.

Update: China Goes On Crude Buying Spree After OPEC+ Cuts (Zero Hedge)
WNU Editor: While the US is emptying out its strategic oil reserve, the Chinese are stocking up with the expectation that the price of oil is going skyward in the coming weeks.
OPEC+ cutting oil production. EU ban on Russian oil starting in December. The signs are all there for $100 USD/barrel and more in 2023.
Update #2: This top US banker is right .... Jamie Dimon Says “We are getting energy completely wrong” and He's Right (Mish Talk).
Update #3: US Diesel supplies continue to fall, and prices continue to climb .... Gas prices down again, diesel higher (DRGNews). Pray for warm weather.

Dimon is only upset about the self sanctioning and the really stupid energy policy. One has to imagine, however, that isn’t isn’t at all upset about all the new weapon sales generated in the wake of emptying europes arsenal, money equally wasted in a time of fiscal crunch only to go get blown up by $2000 drones a few days after deployment.
