据路透社北京、新加坡报道，上周五公布的中国海关总署（GAC）数据显示，随着新产量的增加和国内需求的放缓，炼油企业增加了海外发货量，中国7月份的汽油出口量已升至接近创纪录的月度水平。

GAC的数据显示，上月汽油发货量达到156万吨，高于6月份的100万吨和去年7月的89万吨，这一数字接近3月份创下的169万吨月度纪录。

据路透社报道，交易员曾预计，随着工厂寻找燃料出口，7月和8月，炼油企业将运送接近创纪录数量的汽油，货物将进一步运往墨西哥和尼日利亚。

与此同时，7月份柴油出口量为158万吨，而6月份为207万吨，2018年7月为154万吨。柴油市场相对紧张，因为炼油厂削减了产量以支持汽油。

月度贸易数据还显示，航空煤油7月份出口量为138万吨，而6月份为124万吨，2018年7月为116万吨。

中国7月份的液化天然气进口量为488万吨，比上年同期增长18.1%，为1月份以来最高月度进口量。

China's July gasoline exports near record as domestic output climbs

China’s gasoline exports in July rose to near-record monthly levels, customs data showed on Friday, as refiners stepped up overseas shipments amid a wave of new production and slowing domestic demand.

Gasoline shipments reached 1.56 million tonnes last month, data from the General Administration of Customs showed, up from 1 million tonnes in June and 890,000 tonnes in July last year. The number was close to the monthly record of 1.69 million tonnes set in March.

Traders had expected refiners to ship near-record amounts of gasoline in July and August, with cargoes moving farther afield to Mexico and Nigeria as plants sought outlets for their fuel to soak up the swelling surplus at home, Reuters has reported.

Meanwhile diesel exports were 1.58 million tonnes, versus 2.07 million in June and 1.54 million tonnes in July 2018. The diesel market is relatively tight, supported by a cut in production by refineries in favor of gasoline.

Monthly trade data also showed exports of jet kerosene were 1.38 million tonnes, versus 1.24 million in June and 1.16 million in July 2018.

July imports of liquefied natural gas (LNG) were 4.88 million tonnes, 18.1% higher than a year earlier and the highest monthly number since January.
