Report summary
As the new year gets underway, Brent is trading in the mid to high $70s. Prices are under pressure as the fundamentals weakened in Q4 2023 and are expected to do so this quarter as well. That shifts after Q1 2024 when we project a tightening in the supply and demand balance for the remainder of this year. Highlights of our monthly update include: • China continues to lead global demand as growth shifts towards petrochemicals • Angola leaves, but rest of OPEC+ group confirm commitment to managing market stability • Protestors shut-in production at Libya’s largest oil field, El Sharara • Geopolitical risk map The early January Monthly Update features an Executive Summary report, related data download and key price slides. The full slide pack will resume with the next monthly report.
