White House trade adviser Peter Navarro said India's purchases of Russian crude were funding Moscow's war in Ukraine and had to stop.

China's exports of refined products, including diesel, gasoline, aviation fuel, and marine fuel, rose 7.1% year on year to 5.34 million tons in July, according to customs data, maintaining the strong momentum from last month and reaching the highest monthly total since June 2024.

Azerbaijan's oil exports via the Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan pipeline, fell to 16.2 million metric tons in the January-July period, a decline of 5.9% from a year earlier, Azerbaijani data showed, as the route was marred by tainted oil.

The first two cargoes of Venezuelan oil exported by energy major Chevron CVX.N after it received a fresh U.S. authorization to operate in the country last month have set sail for the United States, vessel monitoring data showed on Friday.
