The oil production agreement is not likely to overcome reduced global demand.
|

 (Bloomberg) -- Global oil demand is being destroyed as the coronavirus forces people around the world to remain indoors and avoid all unnecessary travel.Currently, between a third and a half of the world's population are in lockdown, meaning few people are driving, flying or doing much that would require the use of crude or its derivatives.The ramifications for the oil market are huge, with refiners, producers and even petrostates all facing uncertain futures. The most immediate set of data from America starkly illustrated the impact. On Wednesday, the U.S. Energy Information Administration reported U.S. drivers consumed the least gasoline for at least 30 years, as normal life ground to a halt.Demand for crude could fall by 27 million barrels a day this month, according to Rystad Energy AS, while Trafigura Group estimates the current hit to consumption is around 35 million barrels a day.Against this backdrop, the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries and its allies, meeting via video conference on Thursday, agreed to cut production by 10 million barrels a day.The agreement, which dwarves previous interventions and has been sponsored by U.S. President Donald Trump, would end the price war between Riyadh and Moscow that helped pushed oil down to the lowest in almost two decades. The deal, however, is at risk of collapse after Mexico refused to sign up.Attention now turns to today's meeting of G-20 oil ministers, chaired by Saudi Arabia, where countries outside OPEC , including the U.S., are expected to make com

 Boeing Co. will deliver its first batch of reusable, 3D-printed face shields to healthcare workers treating COVID-19 patients, the company said Friday. The Department of Health and Human Services has accepted an initial shipment of 2,300 face shields on Friday, and the Federal Emergency Management Agency will deliver the shields to a convention center in Dallas, designated as an alternate care site to treat patients with COVID-19. "Boeing is set to produce thousands more face shields per week, gradually increasing production output" to meet the growing need for personal protective equipment in the U.S., the company said. Boeing will coordinate the distribution of additional face shields with U.S. officials, it said. The company is making the face shields at several of its production sites across the U.S. A Boeing supplier provided the clear film for the face shields, and another supplier donated the elastic used for the adjustable headbands, the company said. Boeing has halted aircraft production in several of its plants, including major ones in the states of South Carolina and Washington, to respond to social-distancing and non-essential work guidelines amid the coronavirus pandemic, which also has caused air travel to grind to a standstill. Boeing is still working on getting its 737 Max aircraft back to service after the plane family's groundings in March 2019 following two deadly crashes linked to a faulty anti-stall system.

3M Co. said Friday it has filed suit in federal court against Performance Supply LLC, alleging illegal price gouging and deceptive practices in the sale of N95 respirators that provide protection against the COVID-19 pandemic. 3M alleges that the New Jersey-based company, which falsely claimed to be a 3M affiliate, had offered to sell $45 million worth of N95 face masks to New York City at prices that were 6 to 7 times (500% to 600%) above 3M's list price. 3M said any damages recovered as a result of the lawsuit will be donated to COVID-19-related nonprofit organizations. 3M said it has not changed prices on face masks since the COVID-19 outbreak. "3M does not - and will not - tolerate price gouging, fraud, deception, or other activities that unlawfully exploit the demand for critical 3M products during a pandemic," said Denise Rutherford, senior vice president of corporate affairs. 3M's stock has lost 18.1% over the past three months, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average has declined 17.7%.

 (Bloomberg) -- Delta Air Lines Inc. was cut to junk at Fitch Ratings as part of a general downgrade of the U.S. airline industry and its ability to service debt. The assessment adds urgency to the Trump administration's desire to save the industry.Fitch on Friday lowered its rating on Delta's debt to "BB " from "BBB-" and warned that another downgrade is possible as air travel suffers with the spread of the coronavirus. The airline does, however, have more financial flexibility than some rivals, Fitch said in an assessment of the industry.Delta, Alaska Air Group Inc. and Southwest Airlines Co. are the "better-positioned U.S. carriers to weather the expected downturn," Fitch said.Other downgrades by Fitch on Friday include:Alaska Air downgraded to "BB " from "BBB-"American Airlines downgraded by one notch to "B"JetBlue Airways downgraded to "BB" from "BB "Southwest downgraded to "BBB " from "A-"United Airlines Holdings Inc. downgraded to "BB-" from "BB"President Donald Trump said on Friday that U.S. airlines must be saved.

 (Bloomberg) -- Some of the world's largest oil producers are finalizing a deal that would take an unprecedented 10 million barrels a day of crude off the market in an bid to resuscitate prices pummeled by the coronavirus pandemic.The market's crashing anyway.A marathon OPEC video conference that's still ongoing after eight hours has so far yielded an end to Saudi Arabia's price war with Russia, established the contours of an historic supply-curb agreement, and laid the foundation for an even broader global accord to trim production. Yet futures in New York ended the day 9% lower while crude in London closed down 4%.Oil's seemingly unstoppable collapse underscores just how dramatically demand has deteriorated as the virus ravages world economies and brings modern life to a standstill. More than two-thirds of the world's population is in lockdown -- not driving, flying or otherwise burning fuel. Consumption is falling faster than anyone predicted, with demand losses seen reaching 35 million barrels a day by some estimates. Against that backdrop, an agreement to eliminate 10% of global crude supply -- while extraordinary -- isn't a panacea.The stakes could not be higher: OPEC 's ability to correct the worst market rout in nearly two decades could bend the fortunes of energy players across the globe, from petro-states and Big Oil to traders and oilfield workers. Billions of dollars in spending and countless industry jobs are at risk as prices tumble, triggering shale bankruptcies and shutting oil fields
