Report summary
The oil market is the scene of several geopolitical stand offs – US versus Iran, US versus President Maduro in Venezuela, and a potential civil war in Libya. At the same time, economic indicators have been upbeat in recent weeks, helping to allay the economic concerns and supporting oil demand growth. Escalating US sanctions against Iran and Venezuela, and Saudi Arabia's output cuts have sharply slowed global supply growth.
