July 9 (Reuters) – Combined inventories of gasoline, diesel and kerosene held by China’s top two oil firms were down around 3.2 percent in June versus May, due to stronger domestic sales, an industry official said on Friday.
Diesel stocks held by Sinopec Corp (0386.HK) and PetroChina (0857.HK) were down a sharp 6.3 percent last month from May, while that of gasoline rose 1.9 percent, said the official with knowledge of the data.
Domestic sales of the three main fuels rose 1.9 percent to about 20.4 million tonnes. (Reporting by Chen Aizhu; Editing by Jacqueline Wong)
