Japanese Oil Demand Lurks Close To 21-Year Lows

Japan's oil demand still hovers around 21-year lows and fell by 180,000 barrels a day year-on-year in June according to London-based Energy Aspects. In a note, the analysts say that demand was 3.14 million b/d last month, marginally higher than May's 3.13 million b/d which was the lowest level since at least 1995. The dwindling demand has been blamed on several factors including the strong Japanese yen which is hitting exports and rippling back to affect manufacturing activity.
