據路透社4月15日報道，國際能源署(IEA)預計，4月石油日需求將降至2900萬桶，降至25年來創紀錄低位，但其表示，產油國減產無法完全抵消市場近期面臨的跌勢。

IEA預測，2020年全球石油日需求將減少930萬桶，盡管產油國已達成創紀錄的減產協議，但這只是一個開始。除了沙特，歐佩克其他成員國以及俄羅斯等國的減產之外，一些國家預計還將增加戰略儲備的購買量。

IEA表示，仍在等待一些減產計劃和使用戰略儲備的提議的更多細節，并指出美國、印度、和韓國已提出或正在考慮購買此類儲備。如果未來3個月左右轉移到戰略庫存的石油能多達2億桶，那么市場上每天將減少約200萬桶的石油供應。

Oil market falls too big to offset with output cuts, IEA warns

The International Energy Agency (IEA) on Wednesday forecast a 29 million barrel per day (bpd) dive in April oil demand to levels not seen in 25 years and warned no output cut by producers could fully offset the near-term falls facing the market.

The IEA forecast a 9.3 million bpd drop in demand for 2020 despite what it called a “solid start” by producers following a record deal to curb supply in response to the coronavirus pandemic.

In addition to supply cuts by Saudi Arabia, additional members of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) and others including Russia, some nations are expected to boost buying for strategic reserves.

The IEA said it was “still waiting for more details on some planned production cuts and proposals to use strategic storage”, noting the United States, India, and South Korea have either offered or are considering such purchases.

“If the transfers into strategic stocks, which might be as much as 200 million barrels, were to take place in the next three months or so, they could represent about 2 million bpd of supply withdrawn from the market,” the IEA said.
