Macro Oils short-term outlook: July 2021
Report summary
Prices strengthened during June, rising from $68 to $77 per barrel for Brent over the month, as demand is recovering strongly in the US and continuing to grow in other large economies. In contrast, the new Covid variants challenge the pace of demand recovery in H2 2021 as vaccines are gradually distributed, especially in emerging economies. Key topics include: • Our OPEC+ production scenarios after failing to reach an agreement • How US producers are responding to current market conditions • The new detailed Canada production forecast • Demand recovery continues in Europe, Russian and the Caspian while Asia growth slows
