Asia Energy Markets Correspondent

Reuters is looking for a driven and ambitious journalist to report from Singapore on Asia’s huge and rapidly growing oil products market. This is a high-profile position covering everything from how Asia’s oil demand recovers and surpasses pre-pandemic demand to tracking how Western sanctions on Russia are changing global oil trade. As industries and transport sectors decarbonise, the reporter will also be covering energy transition policies and growing demand for sustainable fuel such as biofuels and sustainable aviation fuels across the Asia Pacific. The reporter will work with the Singapore energy market reporters and the wider Reuters global energy team to produce world-class business journalism. The successful candidate should be comfortable writing in a variety of formats, delivering everything from specialist fuel oil market coverage and scoops on competitive trading stories, through to deeply reported investigative pieces that appeal also to broader investor and business media audiences. The correspondent will be expected to comfortably analyze data to produce compelling and clear insights into an array of topics spanning refinery and bunkering operations and profitability through to global oil trade flows and fuel storage.
