The CEO of the global commodity trading corporation Trafigura said today, Tuesday, that the oil market has already lost regarding 2.0-2.5 million tons of Russian oil, adding that the lack of supply in the diesel market will be difficult for Latin America and Africa in particular.
“There is a shortfall in crude supply of regarding one million barrels per day, and a shortfall of one million barrels per day in oil products, maybe a little more,” Jeremy Weir said at the Financial Times Global Commodities Summit.
He said that the diesel market is suffering from a severe shortage that Europe can bear, but it will be difficult for Africa, which relies heavily on diesel, to generate electricity.
