The recent 1.2% decline in WTI prices highlights the fragility of global energy markets, impacted by OPEC+ policies, economic indicators, and weak demand, notably from China.
OPEC+'s announcement to extend production cuts until the end of 2026 has not alleviated concerns about a potential supply surplus and continues to add downward pressure on prices.
The interplay of geopolitical factors and economic uncertainties, especially the slowing Chinese economy, is significantly weighing on WTI prices despite OPEC+'s supply management efforts.
Market players are becoming increasingly skeptical of OPEC+'s strategies, observing that current measures are insufficient to counteract the impacts of weaker demand on oil prices.
