The IEA cut its 2022 world oil demand forecast by 1.3 mb/d for 2Q-4Q22 due to sanctions on Russia and surging commodity prices. It warned that about 3 mb/d of Russian output could be shut in from April, and that only Saudi Arabia and the UAE hold substantial spare capacity.
A potential loss of 3 mb/d of Russian supply is a major supply shock that supports crude and energy costs, raising input costs for feed production and freight.
