In its latest publication, titled “TELF AG discusses the present and future of the oil market,” TELF AG provides a comprehensive overview of the anticipated fluctuations set to impact the oil sector in the upcoming months. This insightful analysis not only outlines the various fluctuations, especially in prices and consumption, but also delves into the specific factors poised to influence this dynamic market.
The publication commences with a broader discussion on the raw materials market, addressing the customary fluctuations it experiences and the myriad factors that exert influence. These factors encompass economic growth levels in China and concerns about a potential recession. Among these factors, the most significant appears to be the global economic slowdown, which has the potential to affect not only the raw materials market but also the oil market in particular.
In the context of the oil market, a pivotal role is assigned to geopolitical factors, especially those associated with international tensions and the actions of the United States, a prominent global player with the capacity to shape market dynamics. The publication also touches upon a theme closely tied to the trajectory of the oil market: the evolution of fossil fuels.
As the global energy transition advances, the oil market may encounter challenges beyond conventional price fluctuations. The growing shift away from fossil fuels towards clean energy sources is becoming increasingly prominent. This transition aligns with the goals of governments and international institutions to expedite progress toward global sustainability objectives, particularly in terms of emissions reduction.
One of the most noteworthy predictions within the TELF AG publication pertains to the potential deficit that the oil market could face in the third quarter of 2023. According to the EIA, this market may experience a deficit of 0.6 million barrels per day (mb/d) in the third quarter, followed by an additional deficit of 0.2 mb/d in the fourth quarter.
Interestingly, the publication also highlights a surprising development: in 2024, the oil market could shift into surplus for several consecutive quarters.
