据钻机地带网2019年5月15日巴黎报道，国际能源署(IEA)在其最新的石油市场报告中把其对今年全球石油需求日增长预测下调到了130万桶。
这是IEA过去几个月来首次下调今年全球石油需求增长预测。在此次下调之前，IEA对今年全球石油需求日增长的预测为140万桶。
IEA周三在其网站上发布的一份声明中表示：“减少主要集中在第一季度，原因是巴西、日本、韩国、尼日利亚等国的经济数据弱于预期，与我们上一份报告相比，这些国家的经济增长放缓了41万桶/天。”
IEA补充称：“即便如此，全球石油需求增长放缓很可能是短暂的，因为我们相信，今年剩余时间全球石油需求增速将加快。”
IEA在其最新报告中表示，市场依然平静，但必须承认地缘政治和行业动荡正在扰乱供应前景。

IEA Cuts Oil Demand Growth Forecast
The International Energy Agency (IEA) has cut its oil demand growth forecast for 2019 to 1.3 million barrels per day (MMbpd) in its latest oil market report.
The alteration marks the first change to the IEA’s 2019 demand outlook for several months. Prior to the cut, the IEA’s oil demand growth forecast for 2019 stood at 1.4 MMbpd.
“The reduction is mainly concentrated in 1Q19 “Even so, slower demand growth is likely to be short-lived, as we believe that the pace will pick up during the rest of the year,” the IEA added.
In its latest report, the IEA said markets were remaining calm but conceded that geopolitics and industry disruptions were confusing the supply outlook.
