Capital Economics said in a research note that coronavirus jitters, which have weighed heavily on oil prices, will wane – but after the first quarter. For now, global oil markets will be oversupplied as China grapples with new infections and an economy that’s ground to a near-halt:
“The economic disruption caused by the coronavirus means that we now expect the oil market to be in a surplus in Q1 , as opposed to the deficit that we had previously envisioned. However, providing that the virus is contained, we think that demand will recover in the following quarters and, in conjunction with weak supply growth, will lead to a market deficit in the remainder of this year . ”
The firm expects a bounce-back in demand after Q1, but warns that “risks are to the downside as the economic fallout of the virus could start to affect European and US oil consumption.”

– : 45 am ET: Impact of coronavirus will depend on duration, magnitude of outbreak, Powell says
In testimony before Congress on Tuesday, Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell said the impact of the coronavirus on the US economy will depend on whether the outbreak is “persistent” and “material” in nature, adding that “it’s just too early to say” what the coronavirus’s exact impact on the domestic economy will be. (And so the question is, how do we think about [the coronavirus]? Of course, first we observe the human tragedy, which is terrible to watch. The question for us really is, what will be the effects on the U.S. economy? Will it be persistent? Will it be material? That’s really the question. I think we know there will be effects on China through some part of the first half of the year and China’s close neighbors and trading partners in Europe as well as Asia. And we know that there will be some, very likely some effects on the United States. I think it’s just too early to say. We have to resist the temptation to speculate on this. And so we’ll be watching that carefully. ”

underscored the ongoing strength of the US economy , now in its eleventh year of expansion, but highlighted the new risks posed by the spread of the coronavirus.
Here’s what Andrew Hunter, senior US economy at Capital Economics, had to say about Powell’s prepared remarks:
() Powell noted that while GDP and particularly consumption growth slowed last year, the recent trade truce with China and signs of improvement in the global economy had reduced some of the uncertainties around the outlook. Admittedly, Powell also acknowledged that officials are “closely monitoring” the risks posed by the new coronavirus. But, while the markets are apparently convinced that the virus will force the Fed to cut rates again by year-end, the likelihood of a US epidemic now appears low, and we expect the knock-on impact of the disruption in China to shave no more than a few tenths off first-quarter GDP growth.
As Powell began speaking, markets had priced in an about 91% probability of at least one quarter-point cut to benchmark interest rates by the end of , according to CME Group data.
