Read more Oil prices slipped in early trade on Wednesday as investors awaited the results of the US midterm elections and their potential impact on peace talks in the Middle East, even after industry data showed US crude stocks unexpectedly fell last week.
  
  Brent futures fell 26 cents, or 0.25%, to $103.34 a barrel by 0157 GMT. US West Texas Intermediate crude futures fell 53 cents, or 0.55%, to $95.56.
  
  Which sectors are most sensitive to oil-price moves?
  
  What supply data could change the outlook for oil?
  In the previous session, Brent eased more than 1% to its lowest level in nearly four weeks as traders weighed talks to end the wars in Ukraine and Iran.
  
  Vote counting was underway in the US midterm elections, which will determine whether Trump’s Republican Party retains control of Congress for the rest of his second term.
  
  Markets remained on watch for any progress in talks to end the US-Israeli war with Iran, as Qatar stepped up mediation efforts to avert an escalation of attacks after the US midterm elections.
  
  A senior Iranian official told Reuters on Tuesday that Iran and the United States remain far from a deal to end their war.
  
  The United States carried out "defensive" strikes on Iran’s Qeshm island targeting surface-to-air missiles used against US assets, a US official said on Tuesday. Another official said the strikes appeared limited and did not signal a return to major combat operations.
  
  US President Donald Trump told the Financial Times on Tuesday that the United States had no immediate plans to strike Iran.
  
  “We seem to be getting everything we want,” Trump said in the six-minute telephone interview.
  
  Meanwhile, crude stocks fell by 5.27 million barrels in the week ended October 30, market sources said on Wednesday, citing data from the American Petroleum Institute.
  
  Eight analysts polled by Reuters had expected, on average, a rise of about 880,000 barrels in crude inventories.
  
  Gasoline stocks rose by 1.43 million barrels, while distillate inventories fell by 1.19 million barrels from a week earlier, the sources said.
  
  "Diesel inventories remain tight, while gasoline stocks rose more than expected. The data are broadly supportive of oil prices," Haitong Futures said in a note on Wednesday.
  
  Official data from the US Energy Information Administration is due at 10:30 a.m. EST (1530 GMT) on Wednesday. Source: Reuters/Investing.com

  Global Diesel Crunch Set to Last Well Into 2027
  While crude oil imports in Asia have reached pre-war levels, imports of refined products remain weak as gasoline and diesel imports from the Middle East have crashed amid reduced refining capacity. Asia’s oil import story these days is a reflection... Read more While crude oil imports in Asia have reached pre-war levels, imports of refined products remain weak as gasoline and diesel imports from the Middle East have crashed amid reduced refining capacity.
  
  Asia’s oil import story these days is a reflection of the global oil markets—crude oil availability has significantly increased since the early summer lows and flows out of the Middle East have largely recovered, but supply of gasoline, and especially diesel, has sharply dropped since the Iran war began at the end of February.
  
  Reduced refinery runs in the Middle East, with some refineries still out following Iranian strikes in the early days of the war, have combined with lower refined product flows through the Strait of Hormuz, due to the much more dangerous ship-to-ship transfers of highly inflammable fuels, to slash supply to the market.
  
  Russia’s fuel crunch due to Ukrainian strikes on refineries and the lack of Russian diesel exports have compounded the global diesel problem, sending refining margins and retail prices to record highs in the third quarter of the year.
  
  The crunch is extending into the fourth quarter, and could last well into 2027, analysts say, as many refineries will have to undergo in the spring long overdue maintenance that has been deferred from this year to maximize production.
  
  In this context, crude and product imports in Asia, the world’s biggest oil-importing region, are telling of the state of the global oil market.
  
  A Tale of Two Markets
  
  Asia’s crude oil imports jumped to 26.39 million barrels per day (bpd) in October, up from 24.24 million bpd the month prior, per data by Kpler cited by Reuters’ Asia Commodities and Energy Columnist Clyde Russell.
  
  The import levels are estimated at nearly par with the three-month average of 27 million bpd before the Iran war, and up by 39% compared to the lowest level during the conflict so far of 19 million bpd in April, according to the data.

  Asia’s crude imports that have moved through the Strait of Hormuz soared to 7.4 million bpd in October, compared to just 1.6 million bpd in April. Flows through Hormuz en route to Asia are still lagging the pre-war levels of about 13 million bpd, but supply has jumped from Saudi Arabia’s Red Sea port of Yanbu. In recent months, Asian refiners have also materially raised crude oil imports from Russia and the Americas to offset the supply lost at the Strait of Hormuz.
  
  In contrast, Asia’s light and middle distillate imports, estimated at about 6.15 million bpd in October by Kpler, were still 10% below pre-war levels. Imports from the Middle East alone remain 18.4% below pre-war volumes, although Asia’s total fuel imports rose from September on the back of increased supply from the Americas and Africa.
  
  Diesel Crunch
  
  Gasoline and especially diesel supply remains more restricted than crude oil flows. Since the summer, diesel has been the most distressed barrel in the oil market and soaring refining margins and wholesale and retail prices globally are reflecting this constraint.
  
  Despite the recovered crude flows, refineries outside the Middle East and Russia cannot offset the lost capacity, at a time when diesel and other middle distillate demand is rising going into the northern hemisphere winter.
  
  China’s near-term export policies will be key for Asia’s regional supply in the fourth quarter, analysts say.
  
  “China remains the main Asian uncertainty. October’s clean-product export plan was around 500 kt below September’s, while November diesel and jet export volumes remain unclear,” Abhishek Kumar, senior oil market analyst at Sparta Commodities, said last week.
  
  “Additional Chinese cargoes could loosen Asian balances, but the market needs greater clarity on approvals and actual loadings.”
  
  For global supply, the crunch is likely to extend until the middle of 2027, investment banks and the International Energy Agency (IEA) have warned.
  
  Global seaborne gasoil and diesel exports have contracted sharply since the Middle East crisis began, the IEA said in its latest Oil Market Report for October.
  
  Reduced refinery output lowered exports to an average 4.7 million barrels per day over the first nine months of 2026, which was 10% below the same period last year, or a drop of 700,000 bpd, the agency noted.
  
  Even if refinery output rose early next year, the diesel and gasoil market balance “will remain tight well into 2027 and is dependent on a recovery of product supply from the Middle East,” the IEA said.
  
  “Failing this, further demand reductions and the heavy economic costs these will entail may be needed to balance markets.”
  
  Global fuel markets are set to remain tight until at least the middle of next year as the second quarter of 2027 will see unusually high planned maintenance that refiners have deferred from this year, Morgan Stanley said last month.
  
  The expected drop in refinery utilization in the second quarter of next year would be two and a half times the usual capacity taken offline by spring maintenance globally, and is more than the capacity in the Middle East and Russia that’s currently offline, according to Morgan Stanley’s analysts.

Read more The MABUX World Bunker Index — a composite benchmark reflecting daily prices for 380 HSFO, VLSFO, and MGO – continued its downward trajectory on Nov. 03, with declines recorded across all three major fuel segments:
  
  380 HSFO: USD/MT: 756.97 (-18.74)
  VLSFO: USD/MT: 895.11 (-17.18)
  MGO: USD/MT: 1 495.51 (-20.29)
  
  As of Nov. 03, the MABUX Market Differential Index (MDI), which tracks the spread between Market Bunker Prices (MBP) and the MABUX Digital Bunker Benchmark (DBP), registered the following trends across the four major global bunkering hubs—Rotterdam, Singapore, Fujairah, and Houston:
  
  • HSFO segment: Fujairah shifted into the overcharge zone, joining Singapore. MDI premiums increased by $83 in Singapore and $65 in Fujairah. Rotterdam and Houston remained underpriced, with the MDI discount narrowing by $55 in Rotterdam but widening by $7 in Houston. Singapore's MDI premium and Houston's MDI discount both exceeded the $100 mark.
  
  • VLSFO segment: Singapore and Fujairah moved into the overcharge zone, with MDI premiums rising by $85 and $107, respectively. Rotterdam and Houston remained underpriced, although MDI discounts narrowed by $69 and $28, respectively. Rotterdam's MDI discount fell below the $100 threshold.
  
  • MGO LS segment: Fujairah returned to the overcharge zone, becoming the only overpriced port in this fuel segment. Its MDI premium increased by $44. The remaining three hubs continued to be underpriced, with MDI discounts narrowing by $44 in Rotterdam, $59 in Singapore, and $28 in Houston. Discounts in Rotterdam and Singapore remained above the $100 mark.
  .
  
  MABUX expects the global bunker market to maintain its downward trend on Nov. 04, with further price declines projected across all major fuel segments:
  380 HSFO: minus 5-10 USD/MT, VLSFO: minus 4-12 USD/MT, MGO LS: minus 3–15 USD/MT.
