TOKYO, March 20 (Reuters) - Oil prices could stay under selling pressure for the time being amid risk-off sentiment among investors in light of banking sector turmoil, the head of the Petroleum Association of Japan (PAJ) said on Monday. But the losses will likely be capped due to an expected shortfall in global supply in the latter half of this year, Shunichi Kito, the president of PAJ, told a news conference.
