Chart of the Demand: US Oil Demand Remains Weak
Summary
Figure (1) compares monthly oil demand in 2014 to that of 2017, 2018, and 2019 (before COVID-19 and during Trump’s first term). Oil demand has been weak despite the fact that most companies asked their employees to come back to work in offices instead of working from home.
