Lower output from Russia due to the fallout from its intrusion of Ukraine will not leave the world except oil, the International Energy Agency (IEA) stated on Thursday, as supply increases in other places and Chinese lockdowns tamp down need.

“Over time, steadily rising volumes from Middle East OPEC+ and the U.S. along with a slowdown in demand growth is expected to fend off an acute supply deficit amid a worsening Russian supply disruption,” the IEA stated in its month-to-month oil report.

Slower items exports and falling domestic need following sanctions implies around a million barrels each day (bpd) of Russian oil was shut in last month – about half a million bpd less than the Paris- based firm projection last month.

The IEA sees that figure increasing to 1.6 million bpd in May, then 2 million in June and almost 3 million from July onwards if sanctions discourage additional purchasing or broaden.

Still, Russian exports rebounded in April by 620,000 bpd from the month before to 8.1 million bpd, the IEA stated, back to their January-February average as Russian supply is rerouted far from the United States and Europe mostly to India.
