Global oil demand threatened by China’s tight covid lockdowns – Bloomberg
“China’s worst virus outbreak since the start of the pandemic has led to some oil refiners cutting back operations and is forcing analysts to rethink their demand estimates as strict lockdowns curb consumption,” said Bloomberg.
The analytics published during the early Thursday morning in Asia also claims, “The Covid-19 resurgence is posing a threat to global oil consumption and may accelerate demand destruction, helping to rein in bloated prices that soared on Russia’s war in Ukraine.”

China has managed to bring previous outbreaks quickly under control since Wuhan two years ago, but the highly infectious omicron variant is challenging the nation’s Covid Zero strategy.
Crude inventories at 20 sites in Shandong province -- where half of China’s independent refiners are based -- rose over the past two weeks, compared with an overall national trend of falling stockpiles, according to Ursa Space Systems.
The region’s processors have cut operating rates to around 50% of capacity, the lowest in five years excluding 2020, data from OilChem show.

Izvršenje trgovinskih operacija sa finansijskim instrumentima upotrebom marginalne trgovine pruža velike mogućnosti i omogućava investitorima ostvarivanje visokih prihoda. Međutim, takav vid trgovine povezan je sa potencijalno visokim nivoom rizika od gubitka sredstava. Проведение торговых операций на финанcовых рынках c маржинальными финанcовыми инcтрументами открывает широкие возможноcти, и позволяет инвеcторам, готовым пойти на риcк, получать выcокую прибыль, но при этом неcет в cебе потенциально выcокий уровень риcка получения убытков. Iz tog razloga je pre započinjanja trgovine potrebno odlučiti o izboru odgovarajuće investicione strategije, uzimajući u obzir raspoložive resurse.
