Summary

The disruption of Middle Eastern crude supplies through the Strait of Hormuz has forced Chinese refiners to delay or indefinitely postpone 500,000 barrels per day of refining capacity, creating one of the first major downstream impacts of the Iran war outside the Gulf region, Reuters reported on Monday.
