Crude Oil Price Forecast: Outlook
-
WTI crude oil prices are expected to average around 80.5 $/bbl. in Feb-23, with the overall trend remaining stable. Decline in US crude oil production growth rate, coupled with decrease in exports trend, is expected to reflect negatively on oil prices. Higher US interest rates are expected to further reflect negatively on the crude oil demand growth rate in the short term
-
Positive trend in the US stock markets and relatively weak US Dollar trend are expected to support demand growth rate and hence, it can help stabilize oil prices in the short term
-
Crude oil prices are expected to average around 85.5 $/bbl. in Feb-23 on expectations of demand recovery in China in the short to medium term. As production levels by OPEC are further decreased, it is expected to provide optimism over increase in oil prices. However, risk of further increase in interest rates in Europe is expected to keep overall demand growth rate levels stable. This environment is expected to result in overall stable trend in the crude oil prices, as both supply and demand growth rates are weakening
