Pure BS. None of these happened before covid so the real reason is due to the greed of corporation. They retrench workers, reduce investment when demand is low and when demand returns, they jack up the prices, shouting that they had to do this because they can't coup with the demand. If they keep their workers but reduce their salary in line with economy, none of these will happen. [Angry]

People talk about the Russian war as the cause for supply issues. Russia contributes just 13% of global oil supply. Oil prices on the contract front are elevated not because of demand and supply. Look at the futures contracts. It is the main speculation that has created the bubble. Oil is at stage 3 decline, just one step away from kamikaze stage 4. I'm still not sure why Buffett is buying OXY at such a height. I'd like to think that he knows more than all that the price action is showing right now because if he is wrong, it ain't going to look pretty on Berkshire's price too.

Demand for fuel is still growing as the world picks up where it left off before Covid-19 lockdowns. There’s a shortage of refineries to turn oil into fuel. And the world’s largest oil producers are hitting up against the limits of what they can drill. All this as Vladimir Putin’s war suppresses exports from Russia.“The world has never witnessed such a major energy crisis in terms of its depth and its complexity,” Fatih Birol, executive director of the International Energy Agency (IEA), said at a forum on July 12. “We might not have seen the worst of it yet—this is affecting the entire world.”The impact on global economics and politics is profound. A 42% runup in gasoline prices this year has already driven inflation in the US to the highest in a generation and helped put the Republican Party on course to retake Congress in this year’s midterm elections. High fuel costs are sparking unrest in countries from Peru to Sri Lanka. The energy transition world leaders have been talking about for years is at risk of being sidelined.At the most fundamental level, the world is now struggling to produce all the oil it needs. It’s a sharp reversal from the spring of 2020 when the pandemic sent demand plunging to the lowest level in decades and crude prices fell below zero. Next year global oil consumption is set to surpass pre-pandemic levels, growing more than 2%, according to the IEA.Supply will have a tough time keeping up. In June, JPMorgan Chase & Co. painted one apocalyptic scenario in which Putin holds back millions of barrels of Russian oil from the market and prices rocket to $380 a barrel. Although the nation has found willing buyers in China and India, Russia’s overall production has fallen by more than a million barrels a day, weighed down by sanctions and a broad reluctance to do business with Moscow.The prospects for finding production growth outside of Russia are dim. OPEC, which produces about 40% of the world’s crude, is finding it difficult to meet production targets. Aging infrastructure, years of historically low investment, and political trauma have combined to hold back output. In May, OPEC+ (the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and allies) produced 2.7 million barrels a day less than its collective target.A man pumps gas in Pittsburgh on June 15, 2022.Photographer: Gene J. Puskar/AP PhotoHopes for more oil supply rest on the two members with surplus production capacity: Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. President Joe Biden has pushed both to pump more. In a testament to how desperate he’s become to reduce oil prices, Biden planned to visit Saudi Arabia this month and meet Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman—a man he had previously refused to speak with, even by phone, partly because of his role in the murder of columnist Jamal Khashoggi.But it’s not clear how much more crude Saudi Arabia, or the UAE, has to give.Aramco, Saudi Arabia’s state oil giant, claims it can pump 12 million barrels a day. It has hit that rate only once.As for the UAE, French President Emmanuel Macron was caught on camera at a Group of Seven meeting saying the nation’s president had told him it was already at maximum production.There are no signs that America’s shale industry is ready—or willing—to bail out the world. True, production is rising in the giant Permian Basin of Texas and New Mexico. But the rest of the US oil industry is stagnating. Overall US output is still about 1 million barrels a day short of its pre-pandemic peak.It’s not just that oil producers can’t produce more oil. Some don’t want to. The world’s five largest oil companies plan to invest $81.7 billion this year, half of what they spent in 2013. US shale drillers have been trying to rein in spending after years of burning through cash with little to show for it. European oil majors are diverting capital away from oil and toward lower-carbon energy.There’s also the refining bottleneck. The pandemic forced several aging, inefficient refineries to shut for good, leaving the world so short on capacity that the price of crude, which once almost single-handedly dictated prices at the pump, is no longer an accurate gauge of what consumers are paying. The price of oil in the US is down 13% in the past month. Gasoline prices have meanwhile fallen a mere 6.5%.Against all the supply-side woes is the surge in demand. After two years of Covid restrictions, people are taking to the roads and air by the hundreds of millions. Halfway through summer, demand is already close to matching pre-pandemic levels. And China hasn’t even fully emerged from lockdowns yet.Sure, central bankers are raising interest rates, and the prospect of a global recession has investors concerned that demand is about to fall off a cliff. But economic downturns have rarely caused fuel demand to tank. Outside the pandemic-induced contraction, the only modern example of a major decline is the global financial crisis. More typically, consumption simply rises more slowly.Some will say a high oil price is what the world needs to wean itself off fossil fuels. But the reality is it makes a transition even more challenging.In times such as these, even the most climate-conscious governments tend to buckle, granting tax breaks and spending billions of dollars to keep conventional fuels affordable. More than 20 countries have created subsidies to provide relief at the pump, according to data compiled by Bloomberg News. And because expensive oil is driving up inflation and prompting interest rate increases, renewable energy companies face a higher cost of capital.The world’s 20 million electric cars aren’t enough to cut oil demand.BloombergNEF, which issues a long-term EV forecast annually, expects crude demand from road transport to peak in 2027.Not everyone is a bull. Citigroup Inc. published a recent note that predicted oil could tumble to $65 a barrel in the event of a recession. Oil demand may drop only in “the worst global recessions,” the bank said. “But oil prices fall in all recessions.”On July 8, Putin warned of the opposite. Western nations made a mistake when they sanctioned his nation’s energy supplies, he said. Should they continue, he said, the global energy market faces “even more severe, without exaggeration, even catastrophic consequences.”","kind":null,"is_publish_news":true,"is_publish_highlight":true,"is_publish_live":null,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"","news_tag":"","news_rank":0,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":1},"commentList":[{"id":9078593521,"gmtCreate":1657708655363,"gmtModify":1676536049253,"author":{"id":"4087182159149440","authorId":"4087182159149440","name":"Moonshot","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","vip":1,"crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":1},"htmlText":"Pure BS.

It’s a sharp reversal from the spring of 2020 when the pandemic sent demand plunging to the lowest level in decades and crude prices fell below zero. Next year global oil consumption is set to surpass pre-pandemic levels, growing more than 2%, according to the IEA.Supply will have a tough time keeping up. In June, JPMorgan Chase & Co. painted one apocalyptic scenario in which Putin holds back millions of barrels of Russian oil from the market and prices rocket to $380 a barrel. Although the nation has found willing buyers in China and India, Russia’s overall production has fallen by more than a million barrels a day, weighed down by sanctions and a broad reluctance to do business with Moscow.The prospects for finding production growth outside of Russia are dim. OPEC, which produces about 40% of the world’s crude, is finding it difficult to meet production targets. Aging infrastructure, years of historically low investment, and political trauma have combined to hold back output. In May, OPEC+ (the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and allies) produced 2.7 million barrels a day less than its collective target.A man pumps gas in Pittsburgh on June 15, 2022.Photographer: Gene J. Puskar/AP PhotoHopes for more oil supply rest on the two members with surplus production capacity: Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. President Joe Biden has pushed both to pump more. In a testament to how desperate he’s become to reduce oil prices, Biden planned to visit Saudi Arabia this month and meet Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman—a man he had previously refused to speak with, even by phone, partly because of his role in the murder of columnist Jamal Khashoggi.But it’s not clear how much more crude Saudi Arabia, or the UAE, has to give.Aramco, Saudi Arabia’s state oil giant, claims it can pump 12 million barrels a day. It has hit that rate only once.As for the UAE, French President Emmanuel Macron was caught on camera at a Group of Seven meeting saying the nation’s president had told him it was already at maximum production.There are no signs that America’s shale industry is ready—or willing—to bail out the world. True, production is rising in the giant Permian Basin of Texas and New Mexico. But the rest of the US oil industry is stagnating. Overall US output is still about 1 million barrels a day short of its pre-pandemic peak.It’s not just that oil producers can’t produce more oil. Some don’t want to. The world’s five largest oil companies plan to invest $81.7 billion this year, half of what they spent in 2013. US shale drillers have been trying to rein in spending after years of burning through cash with little to show for it. European oil majors are diverting capital away from oil and toward lower-carbon energy.There’s also the refining bottleneck. The pandemic forced several aging, inefficient refineries to shut for good, leaving the world so short on capacity that the price of crude, which once almost single-handedly dictated prices at the pump, is no longer an accurate gauge of what consumers are paying. The price of oil in the US is down 13% in the past month. Gasoline prices have meanwhile fallen a mere 6.5%.Against all the supply-side woes is the surge in demand. After two years of Covid restrictions, people are taking to the roads and air by the hundreds of millions. Halfway through summer, demand is already close to matching pre-pandemic levels. And China hasn’t even fully emerged from lockdowns yet.Sure, central bankers are raising interest rates, and the prospect of a global recession has investors concerned that demand is about to fall off a cliff. But economic downturns have rarely caused fuel demand to tank. Outside the pandemic-induced contraction, the only modern example of a major decline is the global financial crisis. More typically, consumption simply rises more slowly.Some will say a high oil price is what the world needs to wean itself off fossil fuels. But the reality is it makes a transition even more challenging.In times such as these, even the most climate-conscious governments tend to buckle, granting tax breaks and spending billions of dollars to keep conventional fuels affordable. More than 20 countries have created subsidies to provide relief at the pump, according to data compiled by Bloomberg News. And because expensive oil is driving up inflation and prompting interest rate increases, renewable energy companies face a higher cost of capital.The world’s 20 million electric cars aren’t enough to cut oil demand.BloombergNEF, which issues a long-term EV forecast annually, expects crude demand from road transport to peak in 2027.Not everyone is a bull. Citigroup Inc. published a recent note that predicted oil could tumble to $65 a barrel in the event of a recession.

In a testament to how desperate he’s become to reduce oil prices, Biden planned to visit Saudi Arabia this month and meet Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman—a man he had previously refused to speak with, even by phone, partly because of his role in the murder of columnist Jamal Khashoggi.But it’s not clear how much more crude Saudi Arabia, or the UAE, has to give.Aramco, Saudi Arabia’s state oil giant, claims it can pump 12 million barrels a day. It has hit that rate only once.As for the UAE, French President Emmanuel Macron was caught on camera at a Group of Seven meeting saying the nation’s president had told him it was already at maximum production.There are no signs that America’s shale industry is ready—or willing—to bail out the world. True, production is rising in the giant Permian Basin of Texas and New Mexico. But the rest of the US oil industry is stagnating. Overall US output is still about 1 million barrels a day short of its pre-pandemic peak.It’s not just that oil producers can’t produce more oil. Some don’t want to. The world’s five largest oil companies plan to invest $81.7 billion this year, half of what they spent in 2013. US shale drillers have been trying to rein in spending after years of burning through cash with little to show for it. European oil majors are diverting capital away from oil and toward lower-carbon energy.There’s also the refining bottleneck. The pandemic forced several aging, inefficient refineries to shut for good, leaving the world so short on capacity that the price of crude, which once almost single-handedly dictated prices at the pump, is no longer an accurate gauge of what consumers are paying. The price of oil in the US is down 13% in the past month. Gasoline prices have meanwhile fallen a mere 6.5%.Against all the supply-side woes is the surge in demand. After two years of Covid restrictions, people are taking to the roads and air by the hundreds of millions. Halfway through summer, demand is already close to matching pre-pandemic levels. And China hasn’t even fully emerged from lockdowns yet.Sure, central bankers are raising interest rates, and the prospect of a global recession has investors concerned that demand is about to fall off a cliff.

More typically, consumption simply rises more slowly.Some will say a high oil price is what the world needs to wean itself off fossil fuels. But the reality is it makes a transition even more challenging.In times such as these, even the most climate-conscious governments tend to buckle, granting tax breaks and spending billions of dollars to keep conventional fuels affordable. More than 20 countries have created subsidies to provide relief at the pump, according to data compiled by Bloomberg News.

In a testament to how desperate he’s become to reduce oil prices, Biden planned to visit Saudi Arabia this month and meet Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman—a man he had previously refused to speak with, even by phone, partly because of his role in the murder of columnist Jamal Khashoggi.</p><p>But it’s not clear how much more crude Saudi Arabia, or the UAE, has to give.Aramco, Saudi Arabia’s state oil giant, claims it can pump 12 million barrels a day. It has hit that rate only once.</p><p>As for the UAE, French President Emmanuel Macron was caught on camera at a Group of Seven meeting saying the nation’s president had told him it was already at maximum production.</p><p>There are no signs that America’s shale industry is ready—or willing—to bail out the world. True, production is rising in the giant Permian Basin of Texas and New Mexico. But the rest of the US oil industry is stagnating. Overall US output is still about 1 million barrels a day short of its pre-pandemic peak.</p><p>It’s not just that oil producers can’t produce more oil. Some don’t want to. The world’s five largest oil companies plan to invest $81.7 billion this year, half of what they spent in 2013. US shale drillers have been trying to rein in spending after years of burning through cash with little to show for it. European oil majors are diverting capital away from oil and toward lower-carbon energy.</p><p>There’s also the refining bottleneck. The pandemic forced several aging, inefficient refineries to shut for good, leaving the world so short on capacity that the price of crude, which once almost single-handedly dictated prices at the pump, is no longer an accurate gauge of what consumers are paying. The price of oil in the US is down 13% in the past month. Gasoline prices have meanwhile fallen a mere 6.5%.</p><p>Against all the supply-side woes is the surge in demand. After two years of Covid restrictions, people are taking to the roads and air by the hundreds of millions. Halfway through summer, demand is already close to matching pre-pandemic levels. And China hasn’t even fully emerged from lockdowns yet.</p><p>Sure, central bankers are raising interest rates, and the prospect of a global recession has investors concerned that demand is about to fall off a cliff. But economic downturns have rarely caused fuel demand to tank. Outside the pandemic-induced contraction, the only modern example of a major decline is the global financial crisis. More typically, consumption simply rises more slowly.</p><p>Some will say a high oil price is what the world needs to wean itself off fossil fuels. But the reality is it makes a transition even more challenging.</p><p>In times such as these, even the most climate-conscious governments tend to buckle, granting tax breaks and spending billions of dollars to keep conventional fuels affordable. More than 20 countries have created subsidies to provide relief at the pump, according to data compiled by Bloomberg News. And because expensive oil is driving up inflation and prompting interest rate increases, renewable energy companies face a higher cost of capital.</p><p>The world’s 20 million electric cars aren’t enough to cut oil demand.BloombergNEF, which issues a long-term EV forecast annually, expects crude demand from road transport to peak in 2027.</p><p>Not everyone is a bull. Citigroup Inc. published a recent note that predicted oil could tumble to $65 a barrel in the event of a recession.

Demand for fuel is still growing as the world picks up where it left off before Covid-19 lockdowns. There’s a shortage of refineries to turn oil into fuel. And the world’s largest oil producers are hitting up against the limits of what they can drill. All this as Vladimir Putin’s war suppresses exports from Russia.“The world has never witnessed such a major energy crisis in terms of its depth and its complexity,” Fatih Birol, executive director of the International Energy Agency (IEA), said at a forum on July 12. “We might not have seen the worst of it yet—this is affecting the entire world.”The impact on global economics and politics is profound. A 42% runup in gasoline prices this year has already driven inflation in the US to the highest in a generation and helped put the Republican Party on course to retake Congress in this year’s midterm elections. High fuel costs are sparking unrest in countries from Peru to Sri Lanka. The energy transition world leaders have been talking about for years is at risk of being sidelined.At the most fundamental level, the world is now struggling to produce all the oil it needs. It’s a sharp reversal from the spring of 2020 when the pandemic sent demand plunging to the lowest level in decades and crude prices fell below zero. Next year global oil consumption is set to surpass pre-pandemic levels, growing more than 2%, according to the IEA.Supply will have a tough time keeping up. In June, JPMorgan Chase & Co. painted one apocalyptic scenario in which Putin holds back millions of barrels of Russian oil from the market and prices rocket to $380 a barrel. Although the nation has found willing buyers in China and India, Russia’s overall production has fallen by more than a million barrels a day, weighed down by sanctions and a broad reluctance to do business with Moscow.The prospects for finding production growth outside of Russia are dim. OPEC, which produces about 40% of the world’s crude, is finding it difficult to meet production targets. Aging infrastructure, years of historically low investment, and political trauma have combined to hold back output. In May, OPEC+ (the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and allies) produced 2.7 million barrels a day less than its collective target.A man pumps gas in Pittsburgh on June 15, 2022.Photographer: Gene J.

Demand for fuel is still growing as the world picks up where it left off before Covid-19 lockdowns. There’s a shortage of refineries to turn oil into fuel. And the world’s largest oil producers are hitting up against the limits of what they can drill. All this as Vladimir Putin’s war suppresses exports from Russia.“The world has never witnessed such a major energy crisis in terms of its depth and its complexity,” Fatih Birol, executive director of the International Energy Agency (IEA), said at a forum on July 12. “We might not have seen the worst of it yet—this is affecting the entire world.”The impact on global economics and politics is profound. A 42% runup in gasoline prices this year has already driven inflation in the US to the highest in a generation and helped put the Republican Party on course to retake Congress in this year’s midterm elections. High fuel costs are sparking unrest in countries from Peru to Sri Lanka. The energy transition world leaders have been talking about for years is at risk of being sidelined.At the most fundamental level, the world is now struggling to produce all the oil it needs. It’s a sharp reversal from the spring of 2020 when the pandemic sent demand plunging to the lowest level in decades and crude prices fell below zero. Next year global oil consumption is set to surpass pre-pandemic levels, growing more than 2%, according to the IEA.Supply will have a tough time keeping up. In June, JPMorgan Chase & Co. painted one apocalyptic scenario in which Putin holds back millions of barrels of Russian oil from the market and prices rocket to $380 a barrel. Although the nation has found willing buyers in China and India, Russia’s overall production has fallen by more than a million barrels a day, weighed down by sanctions and a broad reluctance to do business with Moscow.The prospects for finding production growth outside of Russia are dim. OPEC, which produces about 40% of the world’s crude, is finding it difficult to meet production targets. Aging infrastructure, years of historically low investment, and political trauma have combined to hold back output. In May, OPEC+ (the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and allies) produced 2.7 million barrels a day less than its collective target.A man pumps gas in Pittsburgh on June 15, 2022.Photographer: Gene J. Puskar/AP PhotoHopes for more oil supply rest on the two members with surplus production capacity: Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. President Joe Biden has pushed both to pump more. In a testament to how desperate he’s become to reduce oil prices, Biden planned to visit Saudi Arabia this month and meet Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman—a man he had previously refused to speak with, even by phone, partly because of his role in the murder of columnist Jamal Khashoggi.But it’s not clear how much more crude Saudi Arabia, or the UAE, has to give.Aramco, Saudi Arabia’s state oil giant, claims it can pump 12 million barrels a day. It has hit that rate only once.As for the UAE, French President Emmanuel Macron was caught on camera at a Group of Seven meeting saying the nation’s president had told him it was already at maximum production.There are no signs that America’s shale industry is ready—or willing—to bail out the world. True, production is rising in the giant Permian Basin of Texas and New Mexico. But the rest of the US oil industry is stagnating. Overall US output is still about 1 million barrels a day short of its pre-pandemic peak.It’s not just that oil producers can’t produce more oil. Some don’t want to. The world’s five largest oil companies plan to invest $81.7 billion this year, half of what they spent in 2013. US shale drillers have been trying to rein in spending after years of burning through cash with little to show for it. European oil majors are diverting capital away from oil and toward lower-carbon energy.There’s also the refining bottleneck. The pandemic forced several aging, inefficient refineries to shut for good, leaving the world so short on capacity that the price of crude, which once almost single-handedly dictated prices at the pump, is no longer an accurate gauge of what consumers are paying. The price of oil in the US is down 13% in the past month. Gasoline prices have meanwhile fallen a mere 6.5%.Against all the supply-side woes is the surge in demand. After two years of Covid restrictions, people are taking to the roads and air by the hundreds of millions. Halfway through summer, demand is already close to matching pre-pandemic levels. And China hasn’t even fully emerged from lockdowns yet.Sure, central bankers are raising interest rates, and the prospect of a global recession has investors concerned that demand is about to fall off a cliff. But economic downturns have rarely caused fuel demand to tank. Outside the pandemic-induced contraction, the only modern example of a major decline is the global financial crisis. More typically, consumption simply rises more slowly.Some will say a high oil price is what the world needs to wean itself off fossil fuels. But the reality is it makes a transition even more challenging.In times such as these, even the most climate-conscious governments tend to buckle, granting tax breaks and spending billions of dollars to keep conventional fuels affordable. More than 20 countries have created subsidies to provide relief at the pump, according to data compiled by Bloomberg News. And because expensive oil is driving up inflation and prompting interest rate increases, renewable energy companies face a higher cost of capital.The world’s 20 million electric cars aren’t enough to cut oil demand.BloombergNEF, which issues a long-term EV forecast annually, expects crude demand from road transport to peak in 2027.Not everyone is a bull. Citigroup Inc. published a recent note that predicted oil could tumble to $65 a barrel in the event of a recession. Oil demand may drop only in “the worst global recessions,” the bank said. “But oil prices fall in all recessions.”On July 8, Putin warned of the opposite. Western nations made a mistake when they sanctioned his nation’s energy supplies, he said.

It’s a sharp reversal from the spring of 2020 when the pandemic sent demand plunging to the lowest level in decades and crude prices fell below zero. Next year global oil consumption is set to surpass pre-pandemic levels, growing more than 2%, according to the IEA.Supply will have a tough time keeping up. In June, JPMorgan Chase & Co. painted one apocalyptic scenario in which Putin holds back millions of barrels of Russian oil from the market and prices rocket to $380 a barrel. Although the nation has found willing buyers in China and India, Russia’s overall production has fallen by more than a million barrels a day, weighed down by sanctions and a broad reluctance to do business with Moscow.The prospects for finding production growth outside of Russia are dim. OPEC, which produces about 40% of the world’s crude, is finding it difficult to meet production targets. Aging infrastructure, years of historically low investment, and political trauma have combined to hold back output. In May, OPEC+ (the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and allies) produced 2.7 million barrels a day less than its collective target.A man pumps gas in Pittsburgh on June 15, 2022.Photographer: Gene J. Puskar/AP PhotoHopes for more oil supply rest on the two members with surplus production capacity: Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. President Joe Biden has pushed both to pump more. In a testament to how desperate he’s become to reduce oil prices, Biden planned to visit Saudi Arabia this month and meet Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman—a man he had previously refused to speak with, even by phone, partly because of his role in the murder of columnist Jamal Khashoggi.But it’s not clear how much more crude Saudi Arabia, or the UAE, has to give.Aramco, Saudi Arabia’s state oil giant, claims it can pump 12 million barrels a day. It has hit that rate only once.As for the UAE, French President Emmanuel Macron was caught on camera at a Group of Seven meeting saying the nation’s president had told him it was already at maximum production.There are no signs that America’s shale industry is ready—or willing—to bail out the world. True, production is rising in the giant Permian Basin of Texas and New Mexico. But the rest of the US oil industry is stagnating. Overall US output is still about 1 million barrels a day short of its pre-pandemic peak.It’s not just that oil producers can’t produce more oil. Some don’t want to. The world’s five largest oil companies plan to invest $81.7 billion this year, half of what they spent in 2013. US shale drillers have been trying to rein in spending after years of burning through cash with little to show for it. European oil majors are diverting capital away from oil and toward lower-carbon energy.There’s also the refining bottleneck. The pandemic forced several aging, inefficient refineries to shut for good, leaving the world so short on capacity that the price of crude, which once almost single-handedly dictated prices at the pump, is no longer an accurate gauge of what consumers are paying. The price of oil in the US is down 13% in the past month. Gasoline prices have meanwhile fallen a mere 6.5%.Against all the supply-side woes is the surge in demand. After two years of Covid restrictions, people are taking to the roads and air by the hundreds of millions. Halfway through summer, demand is already close to matching pre-pandemic levels. And China hasn’t even fully emerged from lockdowns yet.Sure, central bankers are raising interest rates, and the prospect of a global recession has investors concerned that demand is about to fall off a cliff. But economic downturns have rarely caused fuel demand to tank. Outside the pandemic-induced contraction, the only modern example of a major decline is the global financial crisis. More typically, consumption simply rises more slowly.Some will say a high oil price is what the world needs to wean itself off fossil fuels. But the reality is it makes a transition even more challenging.In times such as these, even the most climate-conscious governments tend to buckle, granting tax breaks and spending billions of dollars to keep conventional fuels affordable. More than 20 countries have created subsidies to provide relief at the pump, according to data compiled by Bloomberg News. And because expensive oil is driving up inflation and prompting interest rate increases, renewable energy companies face a higher cost of capital.The world’s 20 million electric cars aren’t enough to cut oil demand.BloombergNEF, which issues a long-term EV forecast annually, expects crude demand from road transport to peak in 2027.Not everyone is a bull. Citigroup Inc. published a recent note that predicted oil could tumble to $65 a barrel in the event of a recession. Oil demand may drop only in “the worst global recessions,” the bank said. “But oil prices fall in all recessions.”On July 8, Putin warned of the opposite. Western nations made a mistake when they sanctioned his nation’s energy supplies, he said. Should they continue, he said, the global energy market faces “even more severe, without exaggeration, even catastrophic consequences.”","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false,"reportStatus":false,"tweetType":1,"langContent":"EN"}],"isCommentEnd":false,"newsSizeData":{"likeSize":67,"commentSize":7,"repostSize":0,"favoriteSize":1,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false},"APP":{"userAgent":"Mozilla/5.0 AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko; compatible; ClaudeBot/1.0; +claudebot@anthropic.com)","isDev":false,"isTTM":true,"deviceId":"web-server-community-laohu8-v3","version":"4.24.2","shortVersion":"4.24.2","platform":"web","vendor":"web","appName":"ttm","isIOS":false,"isAndroid":false,"isTiger":false,"isTHS":false,"isWeiXin":false,"isWeiXinMini":false,"isWeiBo":false,"isQQ":false,"isBaiduSwan":false,"isBaiduBox":false,"isDingTalk":false,"isToutiao":false,"isOnePlus":false,"isHuaWei":false,"isXiaomi":false,"isXiaomiWebView":false,"isOppo":false,"isVivo":false,"isSamsung":false,"isMobile":false},"href":"/m/news/1193976841"}
