Mark Matthews of Bank Julius Baer and Co, on Tuesday, said that he is seeing signs of demand coming off for crude oil.
“If oil was going back to USD 130 per barrel, I would be concerned, but I do not think it is. I think that we are already seeing signs of demand destruction, which obviously is bad for economic growth globally,” he said.

So they are facing headwinds.”
