OIL

  • Higher consumption, coupled with a lack of spare output capacity and low investment in exploration, could keep prices volatile for the next decade, Dunand added.
  • “We’re definitely gearing ourselves up for volatility for the next 10 years,” Dunand said. “Right now producers and refiners are being a bit conservative” because they’re concerned more stringent climate policies will hit fossil fuel demand, he said.
