According to data compiled by shipping intelligence firm Kpler, Asia is projected to import approximately 22.18 million barrels per day (bpd) of crude oil in June, compared to 20.35 million bpd in May. June imports are still below the average of 26.76 million bpd in the three months prior to the US-Israel attacks on Iran on February 28. However, this figure is significantly higher than the eight-year low of 18.77 million bpd in April, the month when the effects of Irans effective closure of the Strait of Hormuz during the conflict were most severe. Furthermore, the pre-conflict situation where approximately 20% of global crude oil and refined product shipments transited the Strait of Hormuz is likely to resume, which would allow more oil to arrive in Asia in July.The Russian Ministry of Defense stated that in the past 24 hours, Russian armed forces attacked oil refining facilities in Ukraine, as well as fuel, energy, and transportation infrastructure.
