Personal news: thrilled to announce I joined Bloomberg News as a Middle East oil reporter in Dubai this week. Look forward to taking on the challenge of covering the biggest energy crisis with some of the best in the biz. Thanks to all who made the Reuters journey memorable.

I'm not smart enough to understand why scandals do or don't win the public's attention, but I was blown away by this reporting from @CGorrivan, @ElleBeyoud and @nicola_m_white. If you're interested in markets, it's worth your time. Here's a gift link bloomberg.com/news/features/…

NEW: Ukraine has no information as of now about Trump’s proclaimed energy ceasefire. “Just now our repair teams are restoring electricity and water supplies in Kyiv [after Russian strikes moments ago],” a senior Ukrianian official close to President Zelenskyy tells @FT. “Nobody has heard [of the ceasefire].”

COLUMN: Rumor has it that China, a key factor stopping oil prices from going ballistic, is again buying lots of crude. In reality, Beijing is still importing significantly less than before the war started. What’s changing is *where* it’s buying. @Opinion bloomberg.com/opinion/articl…

The recovery in Chinese seaborne crude oil imports has stalled month-to-date (Aug 1-15 data), per @Vortexa. China imported an average of ~6.8m b/d in the first two weeks of the month, down from ~7.3m b/d in July. Tanker arrivals suggest, however, an uptick in the second half of Aug, but smaller than initially anticipated. For now, China is keeping seaborne buying well below pre-war level.
