OREANDA-NEWS Over the past week, the St. Petersburg Stock Exchange has practically lost Belarusian gasoline, its sales have dropped almost 20 times. Kommersant writes about this with reference to data from the National Stock Exchange Pricing Agency.
If on July 1 and 2 the sales volume was 7.14 thousand and 7.8 thousand tons, then on July 3 they collapsed to 240 tons, and on July 6 they amounted to 420 tons.
In the previous month, 90.9 thousand tons were sold on the St. Petersburg Stock Exchange, which is 3.6 times more than a year earlier. At the same time, the total supply at the site fell by 23.9 percent, to 610.36 thousand tons, that is, Belarusian products accounted for almost 15 percent.
If we take into account over-the-counter sales, about 150,000 tons of Belarusian gasoline were delivered to Russia in June, which is about 10 percent of the total demand for independent and vertically integrated oil companies, the source claims. According to him, fuel from the neighboring republic alone will not cover the shortage in Russia, but its loss would be very sensitive.
Separately, market participants note the reliability of supplies from Belarus. The fuel purchased there is shipped within 30 days without disruption or postponement, while in the case of Russian enterprises, delays of up to 60 days are possible, which creates local shortages.
Dmitry Prokofiev, Director of External Communications at NEFT Research, suggested that Belarusian gasoline is leaving the stock exchange due to restrictions on price increases. As a result, the situation in the domestic market is becoming more complicated, especially for independent gas stations.
However, Sergey Tereshkin, CEO of Open Oil Market, noted that Belarus actually has nowhere else to sell fuel, therefore, most likely, it is sold through over-the-counter channels at a higher cost than is possible on the stock exchange, taking into account restrictions.
Earlier, Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak admitted that the situation in the Russian fuel market remains tense. He attributed the difficulties to the summer peak in demand and unscheduled repairs at oil refineries related to drone attacks.
