China's diesel exports in November could reach about 800,000 tonnes, down nearly 40% from 1.33 million tonnes in August and more than 55% from 1.8 million tonnes in September, according to Reuters estimates and trade sources. Refiners had sold about 500,000 tonnes for November delivery, with contracts for the second half of the month not yet finalised. The main reason is that strong exports at the end of summer drew down domestic fuel inventories, forcing refiners to balance overseas sales against domestic supply. China recently raised its refined-product export quotas, with the total usable in the fourth quarter at 20.44 million tonnes according to GL Consulting, but analysts said extra quota does not guarantee that actual exports will rise immediately. The shift shows that China's fuel supply to global markets depends heavily on inventories and domestic demand, not just on quotas.

- Russian Deputy PM: First three oil tankers heading to US East Coast
Russian Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak said the first three diesel tankers have set off for the Atlantic East Coast of the US, with substantial support from the Russian Direct Investment Fund (RDIF), as Moscow and Washington finalize diesel supply contracts. Russia decided to lift its diesel export ban earlier than planned and is ready to supply 300,000 tonnes in October, 500,000 tonnes in November and 1 million tonnes in December. After that, monthly diesel exports could reach 3 million tonnes, 10 times the October level. The first Russian tanker, carrying 40,000 tonnes, left for the US on 22/10.
- Diesel’s All-Time High
In this Motley Fool podcast, the hosts discuss diesel prices, which AAA puts at a record $6.51 per gallon, up 76% from a year earlier. They note trucking firms pass diesel costs to customers through fuel surcharges, so the impact reaches everyday consumers, and jet fuel is also about $200 a barrel, twice its level before the Iran conflict. Analyst Tyler Crowe says Senator Chuck Grassley’s proposal to ban diesel exports could bring a short-term price swing but would likely cause many unintended consequences. The U.S. exports about 5 million barrels per day of refined products and imports about 2 million barrels per day of crude, and the U.S. exports a lot more diesel but is a net importer of gasoline. The transcript cuts off while discussing refinery capacity utilization.
- Defying US blockade, 9 Iranian oil and gas tankers enter Southeast Asian waters before heading straight to neighboring Vietnam
Fox News, citing the advocacy group UANI, reported that at least 9 Iranian oil or LPG tankers have slipped past the US naval blockade reimposed in July 2026. One example is the tanker SOGL, which left Asaluyeh in late August 2026 carrying about 500,000 barrels of LPG, refuelled near Malaysia and delivered its cargo to Qinzhou in China. According to UANI, smaller tankers in the shadow fleet switch off tracking systems, sail under false flags or transfer oil between ships at sea to avoid detection. Fox News also reported that China is the destination for nearly all of Iran's oil and LPG exports, with Malaysian sea lanes playing a key role.
- China Overtakes South Korea in Electric Vehicle Production Advantage for First Time
According to a report from the Federation of Korean Industries (FKI), cited by Chosun, Korea's revealed comparative advantage (RCA) in EV exports fell below China's in 2025 for the first time, while China's RCA rose 1.49 percentage points and is nearly 8 times its 2019 level. Korea's RCA dropped from 3.02% in 2019 to 1.48%, and its share of global EV exports shrank from 8.9% to 4.6%, while China's rose from 2.6% to 24.8% over 2019–2025. FKI estimates that at the current pace, Korea could lose up to 2,200 billion won (about $1.6 million) in EV export revenue to rivals by 2030. Chinese-made EVs accounted for over 38% of new vehicle registrations in Korea in the first 9 months of this year, while Thailand, the EU, Mexico and Brazil have applied or planned tariff measures against Chinese vehicles.
- For the First Time, a Chinese Ship Travels Through an Important Route Directly to Vietnam on a Special Mission
On September 24, 2026, Can Tho Port Joint Stock Company, working with Vietnam Maritime Corporation and Beibu Gulf Port Group (China), welcomed the first container ship on the direct Nanning - Can Tho route safely at Cai Cui port. The vessel BBG Nan Ninh Bo Run (about 4,900 tons, 500-container capacity) left Nanning on September 16, passing through the Binglu Canal, the Gulf of Tonkin and the Hau River, carrying 252 TEU of cargo mainly from western China. On the return leg, it carried 40 containers of rice bran (about 1,000 tons) from southern Vietnam to customers in Guangxi. The route is expected to operate about 2 trips per month, with an average voyage of about 7 days; estimates suggest it could cut transport costs by 20–30% compared with traditional methods. The Binglu Canal has a total investment of 10.8 billion USD and a length of 134.2 km, shortening routes by more than 560 km compared with those through Guangdong.
- What Is Nvidia (NVDA) Asking Cloud Clients To Change Under New China Rules?
Nvidia has reportedly told data center and cloud customers to curb sales to Chinese clients to comply with new US export rules, requiring at least 51% of future sales from these partners to come from non-Chinese buyers. The policy affects global AI infrastructure providers that use Nvidia hardware to serve both Chinese and non-Chinese enterprises. The article argues the cap could limit unit volumes tied to China-focused clouds while shifting demand toward US, European and other buyers. Key indicators to watch include how Nvidia and its largest cloud customers describe regional demand and supply in upcoming earnings reports, and any quantified impact on China-related revenue.

- Bank rate increased to 4% - November 2026 Monetary Policy Summary and Minutes
On 4 November 2026, the Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) voted 8–1 to raise Bank Rate by 0.25 percentage points to 4%, while one member voted for a 0.5 percentage point increase to 4.25%. The conflict in the Middle East, now in its ninth month, has kept global energy prices rising. UK CPI inflation rose to 3.5% in September and is now expected to reach around 5% by mid next year before falling; although knock-on effects on other prices and wages remain limited, the inflationary pressure in the pipeline was judged sufficient to warrant a rate rise, and activity data have been stronger than expected. The minutes show that Brent crude and UK natural gas futures averaged $108 per barrel and 216 pence per therm over the 15 UK working days to 27 October, 38% and 81% higher than at the July Monetary Policy Report. Policy is not on a pre-set path, and the Committee will keep assessing the evidence at each meeting, particularly whether high energy prices feed through to other prices and the wider economy.

- Microsoft walks away from AI deal as $170 billion question grows
Microsoft apparently passed on leasing more AI computing power from Nvidia-backed Nscale, declining an optional 500-megawatt expansion at Nscale's Ward County, Texas project. It keeps its existing commitment to lease about 240 megawatts there, and recently exited a rival 50-megawatt Nscale project in Essex, England, after delays pushed its power connection into the 2030s. Its capital expenditure and financing leases totaled $45.2 billion in the September quarter, below forecasts of about $50 billion, and it cut its 2026 investment projection to $170 billion from $175 billion. Concerns about power, equipment and finished data-centre buildings have grown amid potential delays at Nebius and IREN projects, though the article says this does not mean Microsoft is scaling back its AI commitment. Key next steps are Nscale finding replacement clients and Microsoft providing an updated timeline for bringing more computing power online.
- Massive market rotation raises question: Is the sell-AI trade here to stay?
On Wednesday, tech saw a sharp rotation into hyperscalers, while semiconductor and data-centre infrastructure stocks fell after a Democratic election win. Amazon rose 6.1%, Microsoft 6.7%, Alphabet 3.2% and Meta 1.4%, with Goldman's desk seeing both long-only and hedge funds rotating in. Investors reportedly viewed tighter permitting, water and power rules and possible moratoria as making new builds harder and existing powered compute more valuable, while CoreWeave fell 9.9% and Nebius 6.7%. Capacity-risk warnings added to the move: Brad Gerstner said regulatory friction could halt 10–15 GW of expected 2027 US data-centre capacity, and SemiAnalysis flagged 16.7 GW of planned 2028 Texas capacity as at risk. Goldman also relayed the concern that semis could flip to an inventory correction if power and sites lag chip deliveries.
