  "account": "Crude Oil prices have experienced a rally since reports emerged that China's refiners have ceased exporting fuel to markets outside of Hong Kong and Macau. The shortage driving up the price is not in the barrels that refiners use to create diesel, gasoline, and jet fuel, but rather in the finished products themselves. As a result, Crude Oil has risen to near $91.50, a significant turnaround from its early loss of the day. Chinese refiners have suspended fuel exports to all destinations except Hong Kong and Macau until further notice. The reason for the export halt is attributed to a decrease in China's own fuel stocks, which need to be replenished, thereby increasing the demand for Crude Oil.",
  "summary": "The shortage pushing Crude Oil higher on Thursday is in diesel, gasoline and jet fuel, not in the barrels refiners buy to make them. Crude Oil has turned an early loss into a rally to near $91.50 since reports that China's refiners have stopped selling fuel abroad.",
