LAUNCESTON, Australia: Asia's seaborne imports of crude oil lifted slightly in June but stayed near their lowest in more than a decade as the impact of Iran conflict crimped shipments from the Middle East.
The top importing region is forecast to receive 20.71 million barrels per day (bpd) in June, up fractionally from May's 20.39 million bpd and nearly 2 million bpd more than the 18.77 million bpd in April, which was the lowest since November 2015, data from commodity analysts Kpler shows.
