Macro oils short-term outlook: February 2022
Report summary
The oil market has zoomed upward since the new year started with brief supply outages in Kazakhstan and Libya. The Russia-Ukraine crisis added more power upward to crude prices, as did the growing talk in the market of a “supply shortage”. However, we do not see such a shortage. This Macro Oils short-term outlook highlights include: • Some oil stock levels are low, but see 2022 implied stock build • Assessment of OPEC spare capacity • Upward revisions for global demand as Covid lockdowns ease • US Lower 48 production adjusted higher for 2022-23
