The FY23 deficit is tracking about $1.5 trillion, but only thanks to the odd accounting of student debt forgiveness. Excluding student debt, the deficit would be closer to $1.8tn, and almost $1tn larger than in FY22. This widening should partly reverse as we move into FY24, when we project a deficit around $1.6tn. This year’s “stealth stimulus” may help explain the economy’s resilience to rapid interest rate hikes.

Oil demand grew by 1.33 mbd in 1Q24, with crude-derived products such as gasoline and diesel comprising only 40% of that growth, compared to petrochemical products that use lighter natural gas liquids as a feedstock. In April, half of the 1.3 mbd YoY rise in reported demand came from petrochemicals, marking the shift into more crude-heavy summer consumption. Oil demand is moving from a seasonally low April and May into a peak summer travel season. Importantly, the composition in demand growth will likely shift from liquids-heavy petrochemicals to crude-rich products like gasoline and jet fuel. We still expect overall market fundamentals to improve and see a similar price action as observed last summer, with Brent oil moving $10 higher from current levels by September.
