Report summary
The oil market is having a severe reaction to the decline in global demand this quarter due to renewed Covid lockdown restrictions in China and adding the risk of further weakening demand in 2023 due to possible interest rate hikes. However, we expect firmer fundamentals early next year and these will allow prices to stabilize. Key highlights this month include: • Impact of the EU Russia oil import ban and G7 price cap on Russia supply and exports • Assessment of recent accelerated supply growth in the US Lower 48 • Global demand to be supported by Middle East growth in 2023 • US SPR sales to end this month
