More supply from OPEC+ and rebound in USD to pull prices down again
“Demand may be nearing a peak since central banks are likely to contemplate tightening monetary policy next year.”
“Prices are above our forecast for this year, but we think it will be temporary. More supply from OPEC+ and a rebound in USD should pull prices down again.”
“We keep our forecasts unchanged. Medium-term past years’ of lower investment will keep prices elevated. We expect Brent to average $75bbl in 2022 and $80/bbl in 2023.”
