Getty Images By Warren Patterson , Head of Commodities Strategy and Ewa Manthey , Commodities Strategist Energy - Further pressure on oil demand Oil prices are in a wait-and-see mode ahead of President Trump's and President Xi’s meeting in Beijing. The market could be pinning too much hope on the US-China talks yielding some positive results on Iran. Some hope that China could exert pressure on Iran to reach a deal with the US to end the war and lead to a resumption of energy flows through the Strait of Hormuz. The IEA released its latest monthly oil market report yesterday. It once again aggressively revised its demand forecasts for 2026 downward. The IEA now expects global oil demand to fall by 420k b/d year-on-year, leaving it 1.3m b/d below pre-war level forecasts for 2026. This decline is predominantly driven by the petrochemical and aviation sectors. Global oil supply is estimated to have fallen by 1.8m b/d in April, bringing supply losses since February to 12.8m b/d. As a result, oil inventories continue to decline. They are estimated to have fallen by 129m barrels in March, and preliminary numbers suggest a further 117m barrels decline in April. OPEC’s monthly oil market report, released yesterday, showed the group’s crude oil production fell by a further 1.73m b/d month-on-month to 18.98m b/d in April. Persian Gulf production continues to trend lower due to the disruption of oil flows through the Strait of Hormuz. This data includes UAE production, as the country officially left the group only on 1 May. OPEC is more constructive on demand; it still expects global demand to grow by 1.17m b/d in 2026. In the US, EIA weekly data continued to show a tightening in the domestic oil market. Total commercial crude oil inventories fell by 4.31m barrels over the week. When SPR releases are taken into account, total crude inventories declined by 12.91m barrels. The draw is driven by continued strength in crude oil exports, which grew by 742k b/d week-on-week.

pingingz OpenAI ( OPENAI ) said it would support the creation of a U.S.-led global artificial intelligence governance body that includes China as a member, according to a senior company executive speaking just hours before President Donald Trump began a high-stakes meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping. When asked about the China summit, OpenAI’s Vice President of Global Affairs Chris Lehane said Wednesday that the US has an opportunity to use its lead in AI technology to create a global governance mechanism resulting in safer, more resilient systems, according to a Bloomberg News report. "AI, in some level, transcends a lot of the prevailing or traditional trade type of issues," Lehane said. "There is an opportunity to really start to build something up globally, and have countries around the world, including China, potentially participate." Such an organisation could resemble the International Atomic Energy Agency, which includes China and sets global safety standards for nuclear energy development to prevent weapons proliferation, Lehane said. One way to establish it would be by connecting the US Commerce Department’s Center for AI Standards and Innovation with AI safety institutes that are being created around the world, he added, as per the report.
