“In its market report for April, the International Energy Agency (IEA) has once again lowered its expectation for global oil demand this year. In theory, that should keep the price of gasoline down.
The International Energy Agency expects 2013 to be the third consecutive year of weak growth in demand, adding only 795 000 barrels per day (795 kb/d), according to the April Oil Market Report (OMR) published today.
Relatively strong demand growth among non-OECD countries of 1.28 million barrels a day (mb/d) will be tempered by a contraction of 480 kb/d in OECD consumption, particularly in Europe, where it will shrink by 340 kb/d. European demand has not been this weak since 1985.”
