Oil price witnessed an average 10% drop during November. Economists at ABN Amro analyze Oil’s market outlook.
For the first quarter of 2024, we expect that the voluntary cuts will have limited impact on prices, and be offset by a higher supply by non-OPEC producers such as the US and Guyana, associated with a lower global demand growth. This will induce a surge of a supply surplus, putting downward pressure on prices.
Our outlook for the first quarter for Brent is to average around $83, while we expect an end of year price of $95, driven mainly by a recovery in the global economy as inflation softens and interest rates go down.
