Resilient Oil Demand, Tighter Supply
Published on
Strong growth in the US and large EMs ex-China will translate into higher oil demand in 2024 – 2025. With mostly unchanged oil supply, tighter markets will ensue. We’ve raised our 2024 average Brent forecast to $98/bbl, and expect $105/bbl in 2H24. In 2025, we expect Brent to average $110/bbl. Prices could easily move higher, if the US moves against one or all of the states enjoying US sanctions forbearance – Russia, Iran, Venezuela. If Brent trades through $110/bbl, Saudi Arabia and the UAE will release spare capacity.
