We continue to project Brent oil reaching high $80s by May, with our constructive outlook relying heavily on our optimistic view on demand, especially China. Despite tepid economic growth momentum, Chinese oil consumption hit an all-time high of 16.03 mbd last year, delivering a 1.2 mbd growth vs 0.8 mbd expected at the start of 2023. The supporting factors that boosted oil demand growth in 2023 are fading, but there are few signs that China’s oil demand is slowing. We project the world’s top crude importer to consume an additional 530 kbd of oil in 2024, accounting for a third of the 1.5 mbd growth in global oil demand and its single largest source. Our constructive outlook on demand requires an increased call on refining output however China’s dominance in global refining activity growth will likely ease in 2024.
