Crude Oil Price Trend- Q4 2023

The Crude Oil market is driven by a combination of global economic activity, geopolitical factors, technological advancements, and regulatory policies. Economic growth, especially in emerging markets, increases energy demand, fueling crude oil consumption in transportation, industry, and residential sectors. Industrialization and urbanization in countries like China and India significantly contribute to this rising demand. Geopolitical events, such as conflicts in oil-producing regions, OPEC decisions on production quotas, and sanctions on oil-exporting countries, can create supply disruptions or surpluses, influencing crude oil prices.

Technological advancements in extraction techniques, such as hydraulic fracturing and deep-water drilling, are expanding supply by making previously inaccessible reserves economically viable. Regulatory policies and environmental considerations also impact the market; for instance, policies promoting renewable energy and reducing carbon emissions can affect long-term demand for crude oil.

Additionally, short-term factors like seasonal variations, natural disasters, and speculative trading play roles in market fluctuations. The interplay of these factors creates a complex and dynamic market environment, where the supply and demand balance is continuously influenced by both predictable trend and unexpected events. The global transition towards cleaner energy sources is a significant long-term factor that could reshape the demand landscape for crude oil, although it is currently balanced by the ongoing reliance on fossil fuels for energy needs.

Crude Oil Market Analysis

The global crude oil market size reached US$ 2829.7 Billion in 2023. By 2032, IMARC Group expects the market to reach US$ 4780.7 Billion, at a projected CAGR of 6.00% during 2023-2032. In North America, the crude oil market saw a stable to bullish trend during the first quarter of 2024. The market was primarily influenced by several factors such as the rising demand for oil due to the economic recovery, geopolitical tensions, and supply chain disruptions. The IEA has drastically lowered the projected growth rate of the world's crude oil consumption in 2024. The increase in global oil prices during the Spring Festival holiday was aided by favorable conditions, and the fears about inflation may grow as US producer prices rose more than anticipated in January despite sharp increases in service costs. The trend and seasonality analysis in Q1 of 2024 revealed a moderate increase in crude oil prices in the United States.

In Asia Pacific, the crude oil market faced a range of challenges that affected market dynamics and prices during the first quarter of 2024. Geopolitical tensions in the Middle East continued to be a key factor, raising concerns about potential disruptions in oil supply and contributing to price volatility. The imposition of a windfall profit tax by the Indian government also had an impact on crude oil prices during this quarter. This tax discouraged investment in the oil and gas sector and reduced the competitiveness of Indian oil and gas companies in the global market. The increased consumption of petroleum products, such as bitumen used in road construction, was the cause of the growth in demand.

In Europe, the crude oil market experienced significant fluctuations and challenges during the first quarter of 2024. The primary reason for these fluctuations was the increase in crude oil prices as OPEC+ countries implemented production cuts, resulting in a decrease in supply. Additionally, ongoing geopolitical tensions, such as the conflict in Yemen, contributed to market uncertainties and further impacted crude oil prices. Additionally, the US and the UK launched further attacks on the Red Sea, adding to the already high level of tensions which has surged the overall risk sentiment in the oil markets. The attacks by Houthi militants on commercial ships in the Red Sea persisted, causing shipping corporations to reroute their ships around the southern tip of Africa, resulting in higher transportation costs and longer travel times for bunker fuel.

In the Middle East and Africa, crude oil was marked by bullish market sentiment, with high demand and low supply during the first quarter of 2024. The global crude oil prices were impacted by various factors, including Saudi Arabia's voluntary supply cut and Russia's potential output cuts which escalated tensions in the Middle East. Mounting tensions in the Middle East, particularly around the Red Sea, raised concerns about potential disruptions to oil supplies. This risk premium has pushed prices up as traders anticipate potential supply shortages. Moreover, the International Monetary Fund's optimistic economic growth forecast for the year fuels demand expectations, further supporting higher prices.
