The growing demand threatens to tighten crude markets and send oil prices higher as supply struggles to keep up, the report said.<\/p>\n<p>The IEA lifted its forecast for global oil demand growth in 2023 by 200,000 barrels a day, to 2.2 million barrels a day. That would bring total demand to 102 million barrels a day, up 100,000 barrels a day from the agency\u2019s April forecast. IEA estimated China\u2019s crude demand hit a record 16 million barrels a day in March and that the country will account for 60% of growth in global oil demand in 2023.<\/p>\n<p>However, economic data from China was seen as a negative for crude, said Ricardo Evangelista, senior analyst at ActivTrades.<\/p>\n<p>China\u2019s National Bureau of Statistics said retail sales, a key consumption metric, rose 18.4% from a year earlier in April, accelerating from a 10.6% increase in March, according to Dow Jones Newswires. Economists surveyed by The Wall Street Journal had forecast growth of 20.5% as the economy recovered from Covid lockdowns lifted only late last year. <\/p>\n<p>Industrial production rose 5.6% in April from a year earlier, accelerating after a 3.9% increase in March but coming in below the 11% growth forecast by economists. <\/p>\n<p>The move by the Biden administration to begin refilling the SPR may help to underpin prices though, analysts said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe volumes are relatively small, particularly when you consider the DOE released more than 220 million barrels from the SPR in 2022. However, the move does show that the U.S. administration is serious about refilling the SPR, something that the market started doubting in recent months,\u201d said Warren Patterson and Ewa Manthey, strategists at ING, in a note.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Read the full article <a href=\"https:\/\/www.marketwatch.com\/story\/oil-prices-fail-to-hold-gains-scored-after-iea-boosts-china-demand-outlook-536316f0?mod=markets\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A bullish assessment of China\u2019s demand outlook from the International Energy Agency couldn\u2019t provide lasting support for oil futures Tuesday morning, with crude futures giving up a round of early gains.
