Russia’s oil product exports rebounded on a four-week average basis, led by diesel and naphtha shipments after road fuel restrictions were eased and Black Sea ports recovered from storms.

Refined fuel flows averaged 2.2 million barrels a day in the four weeks to Dec. 10, according to data compiled by Bloomberg from analytics firm Vortexa Ltd. That’s up about 88,000 barrels a day from a week earlier to the highest since mid-November.
