Reuters: Azerbaijan Grips Asian Markets
Azerbaijan seeks to increase the supply of oil to the Asian markets, writes Reuters. So, Eikon data show that in October, Azerbaijan sent to China, Taiwan and India nearly 7 million barrels of oil - it is the highest since the beginning of the fixation of the index in January 2015.
The publication notes that consuers in Asia, which account for a third of global oil supplies, with excitement are watching the way the producers of OPEC - their biggest suppliers - openly discuss price support. Buyers say that in the context of availability of supplies from outside OPEC, they will consider new sources, if the organization ceases to offer a reasonable price.
Forbes noted that if OPEC agreed to reduce oil production, the Asian markets will begin to get oil from countries outside the cartel. The figures show that Azerbaijan has already started to actively capture the position in this part of the world. -0—
