China’s Crude Output Turns Up as Power Generation Accelerates, NBS Data Shows
China’s above‑scale industrial crude oil output returned to growth in January–February 2026, rising 1.9% year‑on‑year to 35.73 million tonnes, while refinery throughput and electricity generation accelerated. Coal production’s decline narrowed and natural gas output grew modestly, signalling energy supply stabilisation even as renewables’ growth rates cooled.
China Stocks Open Lower as Investors Flock to Energy Amid Oil and Gas Price Shock
Chinese stock indices opened lower on March 9 as investors rotated into energy and commodity sectors amid a sharp rise in international oil and gas prices. Growth and specialty segments underperformed, reflecting risk-off sentiment driven by supply concerns and impending regulatory changes on short-term trading.
Chinese Crew Keeps Lights On: Lunar New Year at Turkey’s Tuz Lake Gas Storage Project
More than 200 workers from a Chinese construction firm and Turkish staff stayed on site at the Tuz Lake underground gas storage expansion in Aksaray to maintain operations and lay pipelines over Lunar New Year. The project, a Turkish national priority, will bolster gas storage capacity and缓解 energy supply risks while also illustrating China’s growing role in overseas energy infrastructure and infrastructure diplomacy.
Risk-On Rally Meets a Record Gold Surge: Markets Cheer Davos Calm as an Arctic Energy Shock Bites
US equities rose after conciliatory remarks at Davos, yet spot gold hit a record near $4,888/oz as a severe winter storm and falling temperatures in Europe and Asia sent natural-gas prices soaring.

The composition of power output—declining thermal generation alongside rising but decelerating renewables—highlights both seasonal effects and ongoing grid integration challenges.
