OIL: Rabobank Revises 2025 Brent Forecast to $70/bbl on Oversupply
OIL
A looming oversupplied market amid poor Chinese and US demand data will lead to an average Brent crude price of $70/bbl in 2025, according to Rabobank cited by Bloomberg.
- The estimate is a drop from a previous projection of $85/bbl with an oversupply of about 700kb/d expected next year.
- Sensitivity analysis implies a $10/bbl shift in Brent prices from 0.5mb/d of oversupply.
- The rate of increase in global gasoline and diesel consumption is slowing while population trends are negative for demand growth. “There simply are no countries on the scale of China and India regarding population and baseline development growth.”
