Saudi Aramco is set to supply the lowest amount of oil to China in several months, even as the OPEC+ cartel gears up to boost output.

The state-owned Saudi Arabian major will send 34 million to 36 million barrels of April-loadingBloomberg Terminal crude to customers in China, the world’s biggest importer, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. That compares with 41 million for MarchBloomberg Terminal, and a figure below 36 million would be the smallest since at least the first half of last year.
