Industry - Commodity Price Forecasts - Commodity Price Forecasts



Bearish fundamentals continue to drive Brent lower. China's latest stimulus is failing to support prices. Market fears of a conflict escalation in the Middle East have eased and OPEC+ postponed unwinding its December production cuts. We now think OPEC+ will start to unwind at the end of Q1 2025. Trump's election victory poses risks to the downside as his administration is set to encourage US oil production. We forecast Brent will average $74pb in Q4 and $73pb in 2025.
