Main factors influencing oil prices
- Global demand: demand for oil is growing slightly, supported by the post-pandemic economic recovery and growing demand in Africa and Asia. The economic cycle is particularly affecting the demand for oil products.
- Supply increase: OPEC, the alliance of major oil producers, may decide to gradually increase oil production during the year, leading to an increase in supply and pressure on prices.
- Release of strategic reserves: the US and other countries can release strategic oil reserves to counter rising prices.
