據道瓊斯5月13日消息，匯豐銀行(HSBC)稱，盡管今年下半年需求將出現復蘇，但2020年全球石油需求將大幅下降。該行指出，數據顯示，美國、歐洲和亞洲大部分國家地區的駕駛活動正在恢復，擺脫了非常低迷的水平。該行表示:“隨著封鎖逐漸放松，我們預計復蘇將在下半年積聚動力，但仍預計2020年全年石油需求將同比下降約900萬桶/天。”

Global Oil Demand to Improve in 2H, But the Road to Recovery Is Long

Global demand for oil will be down significantly in 2020, despite a recovery in the second half, according to HSBC.The bank notes that data shows improvement in oil consumption in most key regions. Moreover, the data also suggests driving activity is now recovering in the U.S., Europe and most of Asia, despite coming off of very depressed levels. "As lockdowns gradually ease we expect the recovery to gather momentum in the second half, but still see full-year 2020 demand down by around 9 million barrels of oil per day, year-on-year," it says.
