Brent oil price forecasts for 2024 have been lowered for a fifth consecutive month to an average of $81.52/bbl due to weaker demand and uncertainty over OPEC’s plans despite geopolitical risks, according to a Reuters poll.
- A survey of 41 economists and analysts averaged below a consensus of $82.86/bbl from a poll last month.
- The WTI poll average for 2024 was down to $77.64/bbl from $78.82/bbl last month.
- Oil demand growth is expected between 0.9mbpd and 1.2mbpd compared with between 1.0 and 1.3mbpd in the previous poll.
