updates: Updates on the impact of electric vehicle growth on gasoline demand

Version 1.09 (2024-05-06 04:55:06.491000)

updates: Global gasoline demand is predicted to decelerate in 2024 due to the increasing adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) in major markets such as China and the US. The growth in demand is expected to halve compared to previous years, with a forecasted increase of 340,000 barrels per day (bpd) to reach 26.5 million bpd this year. This shift is attributed to the rising popularity of EVs and a return to pre-pandemic consumption levels. Gasoline consumption in China is set to grow by about 1.3% to 165.1 million metric tons (3.8 million bpd) this year, while the US gasoline consumption is expected to be flat in 2024. Refining margins in various regions remain mixed, with Europe anticipated to experience both growth and challenges. Gasoline margins across the US and Asia have gained 85% this year, driven by expectations of strong summer demand. [d94faf7d]

updates: OPEC maintains oil demand forecast and expects robust summer market

Version 1.05 (2024-04-12 04:22:39.102000)

updates: OPEC predicts robust fuel use in the summer months and maintains its forecast for strong growth in global oil demand in 2024. The organization expects world oil demand to rise by 2.25 million barrels per day (bpd) in 2024 and by 1.85 million bpd in 2025. OPEC also sees global economic growth of 2.8% in 2024. The continuation of the momentum seen at the beginning of the year could result in further upside potential for global economic growth. Looking ahead to the summer, OPEC expects global jet/kerosene fuel demand to rise by 600,000 bpd year on year in the second quarter, gasoline by 400,000 bpd, and diesel by 200,000 bpd. The organization believes that the upcoming driving season in the US will provide the usual additional demand for transportation fuels. OPEC's forecast for oil demand growth in 2024 differs from other forecasters due to differences over the pace of the world's transition to cleaner fuels. The International Energy Agency, which forecasts oil demand will peak by 2030, sees an expansion of 1.33 million bpd. OPEC believes oil use will continue to rise for the next two decades and has not forecast a peak. OPEC+ has implemented output cuts since late 2022 and will meet in June to decide whether to extend the cuts or return some supply to the market. OPEC oil production was steady in March at 26.60 million bpd, and demand for OPEC crude this year is set to average 28.5 million bpd.

Version 0.99 (2024-03-15 06:31:13.230000)

updates: Oil prices experienced an uptick in February due to geopolitical tensions and supply concerns. The Biden administration replenished emergency supplies, and OPEC+ made no changes to oil output plans. Weak demand sentiment was observed, but forecasts suggest a potential increase in oil prices. Delivered-in diesel prices declined in the UK, and the differential between renewable diesel prices and delivered-in diesel prices narrowed. The Bank of England maintained interest rates at a 16-year high. The UK economy entered a recession, and biodiesel blending costs remained low [3b2e9f66].

Brent futures for May delivery rose 0.6% to $82.38 a barrel, while April U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude contract gained 0.6% to $78.03. The Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) maintained its forecast of strong oil demand growth globally and raised its economic growth forecast for this year. U.S. crude oil inventories and fuel inventories fell last week. Analysts believe the Federal Reserve may start cutting rates in the summer despite rising U.S. consumer prices in February. Iraq's oil exports to the United States declined in the second week of May. Iraqi oil exports to the U.S. surged by 40% in Q1 2023 but shrank in July.

Version 0.83 (2024-03-09 11:24:35.825000)

updates: Oil prices closed 1% lower on Friday, extending their weekly loss as markets remained cautious about soft Chinese demand. Brent crude futures settled down 88 cents, or 1.1%, at $82.08 a barrel, while U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude futures (WTI) fell 92 cents, or 1.2%, to $78.01. Both benchmarks experienced declines for the week, with Brent down 1.8% and WTI down 2.5%. China's imports of crude oil rose during the first two months of the year compared to the same period in 2023, but they were weaker than the preceding months. On the supply side, OPEC+ members, led by Saudi Arabia and Russia, agreed to extend voluntary oil output cuts of 2.2 million barrels per day into the second quarter. However, crude production in OPEC+ countries increased by 212,000 barrels per day (bpd) in February compared to January output. The timing of possible interest rate cuts in the U.S. and European Union has also been a focus for oil markets, as lower interest rates could boost economic growth and increase oil demand. The U.S. job growth rose by 275,000 new nonfarm payrolls in February, but the unemployment rate also rose and wage growth decelerated, indicating a potential slowdown in the U.S. economy and keeping the possibility of an interest rate cut in June from the Federal Reserve on the table. The European Central Bank (ECB) is also expected to start lowering interest rates between April and June. Money managers raised their net long U.S. crude futures and options positions in the week to March 5, according to the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC). Oil prices dipped by 1% on Friday as markets remained wary of Chinese demand. The price of Brent crude futures was down by 94 cents or 1.1% to $82 a barrel, and the US West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude futures declined by $1.02 or 1.3% to trade at $77.92 per barrel. Both benchmarks were on track for weekly declines, with Brent down 1.1% and WTI 2.6%. Market analysts noted that while supplies have remained on the tighter side given OPEC’s production cuts and Russian sanctions slowing exports, demand from China appears to be lagging. The US driving season demand has yet to kick in. Lower interest rates could increase oil demand by boosting economic growth.

Version 0.51 (2024-02-29 02:20:14.938000)

updates: Oil prices fell slightly in Asian trade on Thursday as markets digested differing cues on supply from the U.S. and the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries. Traders are awaiting key U.S. inflation data, which is expected to factor into the outlook for interest rates. U.S. inventories showed stockpiles grew more than expected, indicating that the market may not be as tight as originally thought. However, expectations of extended OPEC cuts were a key support to oil prices. The resilience of the U.S. economy in the fourth quarter points to sustained strength in oil demand, but fears of a Chinese demand slowdown grew after a major state-owned producer warned that oil demand in China was expected to remain stagnant this year.

Brent crude futures settled down $2.05, or 2.5 per cent, at $81.62 a barrel, while US West Texas Intermediate crude futures (WTI) were down $2.12, or 2.7 per cent, to $76.49. For the week, Brent declined about two per cent and WTI fell more than three per cent.

Some analysts say demand has remained largely healthy, including in the US. US crude oil inventories rose at a less-than-expected rate last week, while run rates at refineries ended a streak of declines and may increase in coming weeks. JPMorgan's high frequency demand indicators show oil demand rising 1.7 mbd month-over-month through February 21.

Version 0.31 (2024-02-21 06:19:46.368000)

updates: Oil prices regained ground in Asian trade amid concerns over attacks on shipping in the Red Sea. Brent crude futures rose 30 cents or 0.36% to $82.64 a barrel, while U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude futures (WTI) were up 26 cents or 0.34% at $77.3. The Brent and WTI contracts fell 1.5% and 1.4% respectively from near three-week highs on Tuesday. Washington on Tuesday again vetoed a draft United Nations Security Council resolution on the Israel-Hamas war, blocking a demand for an immediate humanitarian ceasefire. Russia, which has pledged output cuts of 500,000 barrels per day (bpd) as part of a package of cuts with Organisation of Petroleum Exporting Countries and its allies (OPEC+), said on Tuesday that it intends to fulfill its OPEC+ quota in February despite a decline in oil refining. Concerns that rate cuts by the Federal Reserve could take longer than thought have weighed on the outlook for oil demand. U.S. crude inventories were seen up last week, while distillates and gasoline stockpiles were seen dropping, a preliminary Reuters poll showed on Tuesday.
