Brent price has risen 20% since late June, topping USD 90/bbl last week, as Saudi Arabia and Russia announced an extension of their oil production cut of 1.3 mn bbl/d through the end of the year. As global oil demand hits new records (103 mn bbl/d in June and August), driven by seasonally higher consumption of gasoline and jet fuel, we are witnessing a tighter oil market, which is pushing oil prices higher. The bold move by OPEC+ to extend its production cuts of 2.5 mn bbl/d through the end of the year, combined with healthy global oil demand driven by stronger-than-expected Chinese demand, has led us to maintain our above-consensus forecast for Brent of USD 90/bbl in Q4 23. We also maintain our medium-term Brent forecast of USD 85/bbl in 2024 and USD 75/bbl in 2025. As the energy transition is expected to gather pace, we anticipate a slowdown in global oil demand growth, which should weigh on oil prices in the longer term. |
