FT News Briefing · Why the energy crisis won’t save western oil refineries · 21 Aug 2026 podcast

Well, that really brings me to my last question, which is this concept that we've talked about on the show before of bond vigilantes, basically investors selling off bonds to try to get the government to do what they want. voice-verified

Do you think we're seeing that kind of dynamic right now? voice-verified

George Steer is a US markets correspondent for the FT. voice-verified

Thanks, George. voice-verified

Shanghai's Star 50 index is benefiting from an investor frenzy for domestic tech stocks. voice-verified

The index is China's answer to the Nasdaq, and it's up 23% this year. voice-verified

That's well above gains on the Shenzhen and Hangsang tech indices. voice-verified

Blockbuster listings in Shanghai are helping boost the Star 50. voice-verified

Top companies, including CXMT and Unitree, went public within the past month. voice-verified

They haven't yet been included in the index, which means the Star 50's gains are likely to continue. voice-verified

The rise in companies choosing to list domestically comes as Beijing worries about capital leaving the country. voice-verified

It also wants to keep its prize tech groups under its control. voice-verified

Western oil refineries are going to continue to close over the next decade, even though the Iran war energy shock has meant they're running close to capacity. voice-verified

Plus, these companies are earning massive profits. voice-verified

I'm joined now by the FT's energy editor, Malcolm Moore, to talk about this. voice-verified

Hi, Malcolm. voice-verified

So what has the Iran war energy crisis done to these refineries? voice-verified

Well, why isn't that enough to stem the tide of refinery closures? voice-verified

I'm also curious, how does this compare to refineries in other parts of the world? voice-verified

So it seems likely then that we're gonna see this decrease in refineries in the West, but an increase in other parts of the world. voice-verified
