IIR Weekly Market Scorecard

Read Full Analysis
The Week Demand Stopped Waiting: Reserves Thin, Supply Challenged... A third straight Scorecard composite of 3 -- but read what sits beneath the calm. Brent slipped toward $100 as the G7 pledged crude and diesel output & exports over four months. Saxo's Ole Hansen calls that short-term relief which leaves the refined-product constraint untouched. In the same breath, Aramco's chief executive warns global stockpiles are scarily thin. Have you considered what it means to drain a buffer already described as thin?

Two thresholds quietly fell this week. Gasoline dropped below half of global car sales for the first time ever -- demand destruction maturing into demand replacement. Nobody seemingly unbuys an electric car, ever. Meanwhile for the other "gas" powering the world's industry, reporting pushes Qatari LNG to Europe back to December, with winter right around the corner.

Then the strangest row of all: Ukraine peace talks now carry a multibillion-dollar sale of Lukoil's global assets. Can a war be settled with a transaction?

In geo-economics the ten-year yields touched 5.30%, while the euro sank to a 17-month low. Consider watching the structure, not the seeming slide in markets which are trying to price commodity SnD -- its short & long term viewpoint -- while grappling with Central Bank decisions on rates. So much uncertainty...
