Diesel supports demand

摘要

Products demand in the Argus-16 group of reporting countries increased by 1.3pc last year, accounting for just under 60pc of global oil consumption. But this was still a slowdown compared with the 2.1pc growth rate regis- tered in 2017 for the group of key consuming countries. Growth last year was mainly driven by robust increases in US, Indian and Chinese demand, particu- larly for diesel and LPG.
