Canadian oil investor Eric Nuttall says he’s not worried about near-term impacts from the global shift to clean energy.
Nuttall, who has been persistently bullish on the commodity, said he still predicts strong demand for oil over the next few decades even as governments push for adoption of electric vehicles – though he noted that policy shift presents a “fair concern” for oil companies.
In an interview with BNN Bloomberg on Tuesday, Nuttall said passenger vehicles make up about a quarter of oil demand, and he thinks other drivers of demand such as jet fuel and petrochemicals will remain strong in future decades. “We think that even under aggressive EV adoption rates, demand will grow to at least the mid 2030s, and we think that demand will not fall lower than it is today, until 2040 2045,” said Nuttall, partner and senior portfolio manager of Ninepoint Partners.
“There's moderate worries several decades from now. In the next several years, I'm not worried whatsoever.”Nuttall said oil has had a “good rally” recently and he expects oil will close out the year at around $80 per barrel, given the state of current inventories.

Canada's Heavy Oil Outperforms WTI BenchmarkDemand for oil from Canada is rising as world oil consumption hits new records. Heavy, sour oil grades like those Canada primarily exports are experiencing a 'price renaissance,' outperforming the U.S. light, sweet oil benchmark West Texas Intermediate (WTI). The price of Western Canadian Select (WCS), Canada's main crude export blend, has increased by $15 per barrel (about 20 percent) year-to-date, compared to an increase of about $5 per barrel for WTI. The higher Canadian heavy oil prices can be attributed to reduced supply due to maintenance at oil sands projects and increased demand.

Strong Demand for Canada's First Home Savings Account from Young CanadiansTwo major banks in Canada are reporting strong demand for the newly launched First Home Savings Account (FHSA) from young Canadians who are saving for a down payment. The FHSA offers the combined tax benefits of a Registered Retirement Savings Plan (RRSP) and a Tax-Free Savings Account (TFSA). However, the challenge lies in how to invest for a potentially short and shifting time horizon. Contributions in a FHSA can be invested in various options, but they must be ready to liquidate quickly when the account holder makes an offer on a home. Fixed maturities on bonds and guaranteed investment certificates (GICs), or equities during a market lull, could pose a problem. Despite this, the tax perks from a FHSA make it a good investment, even if the funds are kept in a high interest savings account. Contributions are tax deductible, and gains on investments are never taxed as long as the funds are used for the purchase of a first home. The tax savings depend on the performance of the investments, similar to RRSPs and TFSAs.

IEA Warns of Potential Oil Price Increase as OPEC+ Cuts Collide with High DemandThe International Energy Agency (IEA) has stated that if OPEC+ maintains its current supply targets, oil inventories could decrease by 2.2 million barrels per day (bpd) in the third quarter and 1.2 million bpd in the fourth quarter, potentially leading to higher prices. The IEA also noted that global oil supply dropped by 910,000 bpd in July, primarily due to a significant reduction in Saudi output. However, Russian oil exports remained steady. The IEA predicts a sharp slowdown in demand growth next year, citing lackluster macroeconomic conditions, a waning post-pandemic recovery, and the increasing use of electric vehicles.

Oil Demand Surges Despite Climate ConcernsAccording to the International Energy Agency (IEA), oil demand is stronger than ever, boosted by strong summer air travel, increased oil use in power generation, and surging Chinese petrochemical activity. Despite growing evidence of a warming planet and efforts to shift away from fossil fuels, oil consumption continues to rise. The IEA predicts that global demand growth will halve next year due to improved vehicle efficiency and the adoption of electric cars.
