Brent crude prices slump amid weakened US demand, global consumption remains robust

1 Mins read

Thursday saw a dip in prices due to reduced energy demand in the United States. However, robust global consumption continues to counterbalance this slump. This information comes amidst ongoing risks to production stability due to tight supply strategies from key producers and potential disruptions from the Israel-Hamas conflict.

Despite the current weakness in oil prices, a rebound is expected. Mark Haefele of UBS Global Wealth Management views the current situation as an opportunity for risk-takers. He suggests leveraging long positions on longer-dated Brent contracts, aiming to capitalize on the predicted price rise.

The oil market continues to navigate a complex landscape, balancing weakened demand with strong global consumption and potential geopolitical disruptions. As the situation unfolds, all eyes will be on the market’s response and whether it can sustain its resilience in face of these challenges.
