Mars exports to China are at an all-time low, weighing on their prices and impacting medium sours that either price against it or compete as an alternative supply into regional refineries.

 

 Key topics covered in the podcast:

•   Volumes of Canadian crudes coming into the US and impacts on Cushing
•   Canadian heavy prices at Houston
•   How medium sours are feeling the pinch from increased Chinese buying of TMX volumes
