World oil demand is slowing down, led by weaker economic growth in the U.S. and China, the International Energy Agency said Wednesday. While the agency didn’t say high oil prices are damping demand, weaker economic growth is projected in the world’s leading economies, as the U.S. and China lose steam from earlier strength this year and Japan’s rebound is cast in doubt as investors worry about inflationary pressures caused by the high cost of energy.
For the first time in more than half a year of constant upward revisions, the IEA, advisor to the world’s biggest economies, didn’t change its forecasts for how much more oil the world will need.
But it did increase its estimated overall demand by 750,000 barrels a day, reflecting changes to historical data stretching back 10 years. That left world oil demand in 2004 at 82.2 million b/d, up 2.53 million b/d on the year. Growth will moderate in 2005 to 2.2%, or 1.8 million b/d, at 84 million b/d.
A global slowdown is beginning to affect oil demand, according to IEA figures.
Government efforts to cool down China’s overheating economy will cut oil demand growth more than half from 24.6% in the second quarter to 9% in the third, the IEA said. But uncertainty remains about the future in China where restrictions on trucking and economic growth could push down demand, while extra refining capacity could boost it.
选项
A、The cooling down of the Chinese economy.
B、Weaker growth of U.S. economy.
C、Inflation.
D、Uncertainty about Japan’s rebound.
答案
C
解析
根据题意可知原文第一段相关信息处,第一句“World oil demand is slowing down, led by weaker economic growth in the U.S. and China...”显然,选项a和b的说法是正确的;日本的情况与前两个国家相仿“Japan’s rebound is cast in doubt...”与选项d说法相符:而通货膨胀的问题,仅在说明为何日本经济反弹蒙上阴影时提及,而对全球石油需求并不相干,因此选项c的说法与原文不符,该项是正确答案。
