India and China increase Brazilian oil imports amid Strait of Hormuz disruptions from Iran war
The US-Israel war on Iran has disrupted oil shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, leading Asian buyers like China and India to increase imports of Brazilian crude. Brazil emerges as a beneficiary, but cannot fully replace Middle East supply. Indian refiners also turn to Latin American and African oil, including from Venezuela, Angola, and Nigeria.
