    Oil Markets in 2024-2025: Abundance or scarcity?

    Markets Fundamentals

    Oil markets are entering a new “normal” phase.

While demand growth is cooling, non-OPEC supply growth is rising sharply, leading OPEC+ to reduce output to rebalance the market. At the same time, the war in Ukraine and outbreak of conflict in the Middle East has injected significant geopolitical risk into the market. How will these new oil fundamentals develop over the next two years?
