The National Development and Reform Commission Price Monitoring Center predicts
Oil prices are likely to be volatile
During the price adjustment cycle, against the backdrop of "OPEC+" production cuts being less than expected, market concerns about slowing economic growth and sluggish demand continued to rise, and oil prices fell under pressure. U.S. gasoline inventories rose more than expected, and gasoline futures prices fell to their lowest level in nearly two years, adding to worries about weak demand.
The latest report from the U.S. Energy Information Administration has again lowered demand growth this year and next, while slashing the average crude oil price forecast for next year by 12%. Speculative funds took the opportunity to sell long positions in crude oil, and oil prices fell sharply. On average, the oil prices of Brent in London and WTI in New York fell by 6.77% and 6.92% respectively compared with the previous price adjustment cycle in this round of price adjustment cycle.
Tonight or a big drop! The last time in the year
The National Development and Reform Commission's Price Monitoring Center predicts that in the short term, oil prices may fluctuate. On the one hand, the market's lack of confidence in the economic growth prospects will continue to put pressure on oil prices, and on the other hand, the recent attacks on oil tankers and other ships in the Red Sea and the geopolitical tensions in the Middle East will curb the downside of oil prices.
