From the Economist's Chair: Iranian supply ticks higher, despite political roadblocks
Four months after the US election, and despite expectations that an incoming Biden Administration would prioritise an early breakthrough, resuscitation of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) on Iran’s nuclear programme more realistically looks like a late-202...

From the Economist's Chair: A Fourth Bridge for Opec+
The Forth Bridge in Scotland was opened on the 4th of March 1890. Opec+ Ministers will hope their meeting on the same date 131 years later provides a bridge to both stronger oil demand and sustainably higher prices.

From the Economist's Chair: The pros and cons of super-cycling
Commodity prices have moved sharply higher since November amid disrupted supply, healthy Chinese import demand and vaccine successes, with imminent demand recovery and broader inflation concerns now stoking expectations of a commodity super-cycle. However, persistent ec...

From the Economist's Chair: Shifting policy priorities will drive China’s 2021 commodity demand
China’s imports of key commodities, totalling 2 billion tons and covering energy, agricultural products and metals, were up by a robust 7% year-on-year (y-o-y) during January-November 2020, with iron ore, soy, meat products and crude oil the strongest performers.

From the Economist's Chair: Back towards the sweet spot?
Sentiment may be shifting to the upside for a US shale sector that recently took a standing count, but is it premature to herald fledgling recovery for a sector battered by collapsing demand, slumping prices, capital starvation, bankruptcies and an incoming Biden Admini...

From the Economist’s Chair: Irrational Exuberance
Events since early November have boosted equities, strengthened crude oil prices, placed a floor under the USD index and moderated some of the recent safe-haven demand for gold.

From the Economist's Chair: US election fog could intensify crude’s roller coaster
Intra-day crude volatility has doubled since early-September, on renewed uncertainty over Opec+ intentions, recovering Libyan production, weakening oil demand amid resurgent Covid-19 and, not least, a fractious US Presidential and Senate election campaign, which may see...

From the Economist’s Chair: Energy outlooks offer divergent paths for oil demand
The annual autumn glut of energy outlooks shows disparate potential global oil demand levels by 2040, with Covid-19’s aftermath now augmenting energy transition pathways as a source of uncertainty.

From the Economist’s Chair: Dog Days
The Covid-19 caseload is rising again and commodity markets have lost some of their earlier optimism, so a steady hand will be required to implement policies that help avoid another phase of blanket lock-down.

From the Economist’s Chair: Paint It Bleak
As summer arrives and the world emerges from lock-down, hopes are high for gradual economic and oil demand recovery. Alongside reasonable levels of Opec+ discipline, this could help place a floor under crude prices. But whisper it quietly, a bleaker scenario also exists...

From the Economist’s Chair: US shale – this time is different
US shale’s decline and recovery trajectory from 2014-2017 is unlikely to be replicated this time around. A different market backdrop, financial pressures and sector consolidation all point towards a “hockey stick” path, with a steep decline and shallower recovery likely...

British Labour Prime Minister Harold Wilson said during the 1960s that “a week is a long time in politics”. If so, a month seems like an eternity for an oil market buffeted by coronavirus and the Opec+ fracturing that took place on 6 March in Vienna.
