It’s much easier for it to negotiate private deals than publicly commit to some price limitation dictated by the West," another trader involved in Russian oil trading told Reuters. Russia also supplies Europe with around 3.2 million tonnes of oil per month via the Druzhba pipeline. "Small players are definitely not enough for Russian oil to be absorbed. China is the last resort for the Russian oil or Moscow has to cut output eventually," a third trader involved in the Russian oil market said.

Oil and gas tanks are seen at an oil warehouse at a port in Zhuhai, China October 22, 2018. Such a move would signal a reversal in China's oil products export policy, add to global supplies and depress fuel prices. After a recent slide in benchmark Brent crude prices to below $100 a barrel, Chinese refiners have taken arbitrage opportunities to boost stockpiles, traders said, booking supertankers to haul crude oil to China from the Americas and Middle East. A second official with another state refinery said his plant is also planning about an 8% hike in throughput next month, but added that the plan had been driven by firmer domestic margins. A third state refinery expects to restart a 60,000-bpd crude unit next month after maintenance, one of the sources said.

PETCOKE MOUNTAINSIn Jose, two heavy oil upgrading projects controlled by PDVSA, Petro San Felix and Petrocedeno, produce and store petroleum coke.

☆ Looking for a short-term trade? This ETF carries risk — but outperforms when volatility spikes

But as stock markets slid, one exchange traded fund in particular outperformed: the ProShares Ultra VIX Short-Term Futures ETF (UVXY), which rose over 13% last week. UVXY is a inverse volatility ETF with a track record of outperformance in times of extreme market volatility. "Moreover, the challenge is timing these rare spikes with precision, which I believe to be nearly impossible," he cautioned. It's fared even worse on a long-term basis, highlighting why the instrument is more suited as a short-term trade. The ETF has the very important benefit of not consistently producing large negative returns over time, as is the case of UVXY," he said.
