- The difference in forecasts between the International Energy Agency (IEA) and the Energy Information Administration (EIA) leads to uncertainty in the market.
- The slowdown in global economic activity is expected to be gradual rather than a sharp decline.
- OPEC's production cuts have created a balanced market, but there may still be a slight build in storage.
- Saudi Arabia has cut its pricing for crude oil into Asia, but it is still at a historically high level.
- The Middle East has seen an increase in storage levels, but it is still below the levels seen during the 2017 pricing war.
- U.S. crude exports remain high, supported by Saudi Arabia's actions.
- Crack spreads in Asia are expected to decline, leading to more economic run cuts.
- China's crude imports remain high, but there is also an increase in floating storage.
- Chinese refinery activity is expected to ramp up in May after the Labor Day holiday.
