Show Notes
Slowing demand growth and a battle for market share between Saudi Arabia and the US could see crude oil prices drop significantly by the end of the year.
- High oil prices stimulate more production, low prices less
- Saudi Arabia and the US battle for market share
- Global demand for oil is around 100 million barrels/day
- Electric vehicles (EVs) have destroyed 2 million barrel/day of oil demand
- Globally around 20% of vehicle sales are EVs
- Oil prices could fall to $40-$45/barrel by the end of the year
- Oil demand growth weakest in 16 years
- Low oil price is double-edged sword for chemical markets
