Oil Elementary Forecast: Bearish
- Saudi Vitality Minister’s warning to short-sellers could quickly underpin crude oil costs.
- Fading demand and oversupply issues suggests that the longer-term path for WTI crude oil is decrease.
The strict warning from Saudi Arabia’s Vitality Minister Prince Abdulaziz bin Salman that “I’m going to ensure whoever gambles on this market shall be ouching like hell” might fall on deaf ears, as fading world demand – within the wake of a ‘second wave’ of coronavirus infections – counsel crude oil is vulnerable to reversing decrease.
That being mentioned, Prince Abdulaziz seems hell-bent on supporting oil costs, lambasting these OPEC+ members who skirted cartel-imposed manufacturing quotas and stating that “makes an attempt to outsmart the market won’t succeed and are counterproductive when we have now the eyes, and the know-how, of the world upon us”.

OPEC surprisingly extra pessimistic in its prediction and foreseeing world oil shares virtually 500 million barrels above 2019 ranges.
To that finish, though Prince Abdulazziz’s hints at additional manufacturing cuts could quickly buoy crude oil costs, the basic backdrop of falling demand and rising provide suggests the longer-term path for the heavily-traded commodity is to the draw back.
