-- 中国の国有石油大手各社は、早ければ5月にもガソリン、ディーゼル、ジェット燃料の輸出を再開する見込みだ。この動きは、中東紛争の継続に伴う世界的な供給不足を緩和する効果が期待される、とフィナンシャル・タイムズ紙が火曜日にトレーディング関係者の話として報じた。 中国最大の石油精製会社は、来月の輸出許可を申請している。この動きは、紛争勃発時に事実上実施されていた輸出禁止措置からの転換を示唆するものであり、この措置は地政学的不安定な状況下で供給を確保するために導入されたものだ。 同紙は、Kplerのデータに基づき、中国は紛争勃発前はアジア太平洋地域における石油製品の主要供給国であり、日量約80万バレルを輸出していたと報じた。北京はオーストラリア、日本、ベトナム、フィリピン、バングラデシュにとって重要な石油製品供給国である。 世界第2位の石油消費国である中国は、早ければ5月にも輸出を再開する準備を進めており、出荷先は供給不足が深刻化しているアジア地域が中心となる見込みだ。 アジア地域は、現在進行中のエネルギー危機の影響を最も大きく受けており、地域の製油所は供給量の約80%を輸入に依存している。中東地域は輸入量の約半分を占めており、供給途絶の影響を特に受けやすい状況にある。は、中国国務院新聞弁公室にコメントを求めた。 中国は既に、人道支援を目的とした燃料の限定的な販売を近隣諸国の一部で開始しており、大規模な輸出を可能にする十分な精製能力を持つ唯一のアジア経済国としての役割を強調している。 一方、複数の国際商社によると、中国の国有製油所数社が最近、新たな輸出割当量を割り当てられたという。これは、海外への出荷がより広範に再開される兆候を示している。 中国は、紛争に先立ち記録的な在庫を積み増したにもかかわらず、商品供給リスクに対して依然として極めて慎重な姿勢を崩しておらず、北京における市場安定性への根強い懸念を浮き彫りにしている。 先月、当局は特定の肥料混合物に対する規制を強化し、主要戦略物資全体にわたる供給管理措置の広範な流れに加わった。 (マーケットチャッターのニュースは、世界中の市場専門家との会話に基づいています。この情報は信頼できる情報源に基づいていると考えられますが、噂や憶測が含まれる可能性があります。正確性は保証されません。)

Rua Bioscience Notes 'Significant Contraction' in Australian Medical Cannabis Prescribing Volumes Amid Regulatory Review
Rua Bioscience (NZE:RUA) said the Australian market has experienced "significant contraction" in medical cannabis prescribing volumes amid a Therapeutic Goods Administration review of the safety of unapproved products, according to a Wednesday filing with the New Zealand bourse.However, medicinal cannabis is showing "strong signs of maturity and growth" in international markets, especially in Europe, in the face of recent international developments and discourse of a global economic slowdown, Rua added.The company recently established RUA genetics in Canada, the second-largest cannabis market in the world after the US, adding to its presence in Germany, Australia, New Zealand, Czechia, and the UK, per the filing.In Australia, the company expects a market reset after the regulatory review is complete, and is working to establish its products in new clinic chains.Elsewhere, Rua plans to bring several products to the New Zealand market in the coming months, and is also working on product launches in Czechia scheduled for May. Additionally, the company is looking to expand in the UK with plans to incorporate its genetics through new channels and clinic chains.In Germany, the company believes there is strong demand for consistent and reliable suppliers as significant regulatory changes seem unlikely following a review during which distributors reduced stock and scaled back imports. The German market remains competitive and continues to show strong signs of growth, Rua said.
