Reuters extracts information from Kpler data firms showing the US's export of crude oil in May to the 460 million barrels a day. The figure crossed the old top in April (5.2 million barrels).

The conflict in the Middle East is causing an unprecedented break with the global energy market. The Hormuz Sea Escalated paralyzing the flow of 20% of crude oil and gas in the world.

Exports American oil to Asia and Europe so on record in May. In it, Asia purchased about 2.45 million barrels a day, scoring the second month consecutive head of the United States export point. Europe then with 2.4 million barrels a day.

The demand from Japan - the import capital largely from the Middle East before the war, increased 32% over the previous month, to 808,000 barrels a day. "We're not surprised by these figures, since the Middle East oil was quite lost", Matt Smith — The Director of Commercial Research at Kpler remarked.

Other countries also increased American oil in May, such as Bulgaria, Croatia, Turkey, and Greece. Italy also imports a record of 335,000 barrels of American oil per day.

"We think the force of the purchase from Asia comes mainly from the real need. Meanwhile, Europe's motivation is the favorable transport process and the lower transatlantic transportation costs", Rohit Rathod - high-level analyst on the oil market at Parsonsa said.

About 5% of the U.S. export crude oil in May is from the War Oil Reserve (SPR). The oil is in a total of 172 million barrels which Washington releases from the emergency reserve to prevent the prices from increasing.

Even so, the world's largest oil exports are predicted to slow down in June, due to investors who expect to negotiate peace with Iran to ease the concern of supply. Another reason is that WTI oil prices are nearly equal to Brent oil. Currently, every barrel of WTI has a cost of 90 dollars, which is only 3 dollars less than Brent. In addition, the storage of WTI oil reserves in the U.S. at low levels can also cause the country to increase reserves and reduce exports.

The Energy Arbiters Energy Adorticals forecasted American oil exports this month only about 4.9 million barrels a day, then continued to drop to 4.6 million barrels in July.
