Report summary
Global markets have been volatile over the past month or so. Oil has been no exception with Brent prices trading between $62 per barrel on 7 December and $51 on 21 December. Mixed macroeconomic data have driven much of the volatility, with political uncertainty compounding concerns over a sharper than expected economic slowdown. Specific to oil, the market has been focused on the demand outlook – especially in the emerging world, although prices have risen from the lows in late December as the reality of production cuts from producers such as Saudi Arabia have emerged in early January.
