The decline in crude oil prices is primarily driven by concerns over China's economic slowdown and ongoing geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, impacting global demand.
Analysts note that China's investment in electric vehicles and renewable energy is not only relevant for current demand but could signal a permanent shift in the global oil consumption landscape.
Despite some positive signals in September's consumption and production data for China, the overarching trend indicates a cooling economy that might lower future oil demand.
The Middle East's unstable geopolitical environment, particularly relating to unresolved conflicts, adds another layer of uncertainty affecting oil market predictions and prices.
