<strong>A Tiny Island Near Singapore Has Become Asia’s Hub for Russian Oil</strong>

Geopolitics & WarTrade Policy & Supply ChainEnergy Markets & PricesCommodities & Raw Materials

At least $1.6 billion of Moscow diesel, fuel oil, and related refined products has reportedly been transshipped via Indonesia’s Karimun to major regional markets. The flow suggests ongoing circumvention risk in regional oil product trading and could keep supply/discount dynamics unsettled for diesel and middle-distillate pricing. Near-term market impact is likely more concentrated in refined products and logistics channels than system-wide.
