What drives Oil & Energy markets?

  • OPEC+

    OPEC+ is the combination of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and partner countries including Russia – an alliance formed in 2016 after the signing of the declaration of cooperation. Together they produce more than half of the world’s crude oil and make production policy decisions. Often dubbed the “central bank of the oil world”, the cartel not only influences prices, but the shape of the oil futures curve.

  • Geopolitical risk

    The risk of war and trade policies can influence oil and energy prices. The 1973 oil embargo sent oil prices higher, 2022 Russia-Ukraine war sent natural gas prices spiking. These events also profoundly change the producers and trade flows of energy products. Oil is often seen as a hedge against geopolitical risk.

  • Economic growth

    Simply put, energy powers economic growth. Manufacturing and services need energy to operate. As these industries grow, more energy is consumed. If supply does not rise in tandem, there is likely to be a positive price response. Conversely in recessions, demand for energy falls, placing downward pressure on price. Any unexpected changes on the supply and demand dynamics can cause big moves in energy markets.
