A key indicator of the future price of oil is the Brent crude oil price. It is based on the price of crude oil gathered from the different refineries throughout the world. The price of crude oil changes based on various factors such as the economy of various countries, their exportable goods, and their relationship with the United States and other international players. With these factors, there are predictions as to where the price of oil will be in the next few months. In this article, we take a look at the possible predictions for the current period.

Global crude oil demand exceeded supplies in May, leading to a significant decrease in prices. The Energy Information Administration (EPA) has increased its [link removed] outlook for the second half of the year, anticipating that the balance will be maintained at the current level through the end of the year. From here, the EPA expects that global oil demand will begin to increase slightly in the second half of the year, before declining slowly through the first quarter of next year. As such, the agency sees the first quarter as being the level at which global oil supplies will be fully depleted.

The second quarter's data were much weaker than the first quarter's, with analysts predicting that global oil supplies would be granted the chance to recover. However, according to the EPA's estimates, the current level of supplies is still above the five-year average. With this in mind, the agency projects that Brent crude-oil prices will remain at current levels through at least the second half of the year, with an additional increase to prices likely following the first quarter.

One of the factors influencing the price forecasts for Brent crude oil is the prospects in China. The Chinese economy is expected to grow at a rapid rate over the next few years, helping to reduce the pressure that is being placed on global oil supplies. However, while the growth outlook of the Chinese economy is positive, analysts have suggested that the slowing down of China's economy could result in a fall in global oil demand.

Global oil prices are also influenced by factors out of the country's control. For instance, Saudi Arabia has been reluctant to increase output despite requests from the United States and other producers to increase production to help stabilize the market. The kingdom is also reported to be considering selling more oil to the United States, which could cause a rise in American oil imports. This would affect the price of oil imported by the US, which could either encourage the purchase of Canadian oil or force the US to impose new trade tariffs on imported oil.

In addition to these factors, the price of crude oil depends on other variables as well. During the second half of last year, it was quite difficult for traders to determine which company was set to receive the highest price for their blend. This was due to large fluctuations between the different blends available in the market. While one company could appear to have higher commodity pricing than others, the opposite may also be true. This makes it quite difficult to determine the precise impact of the US government's decision to bring down the oil export quota during the second half of last year.

With all this said, the outlook for oil demand in the second half of this year is quite positive. According to estimates, demand is slightly higher this time around compared to last year. This is primarily due to the fact that the United States and other producers of high-cost oil need to respond quickly to the recent rise in oil demand. If oil companies and traders had increased their stocks in the first quarter of this year, they would have had a chance to absorb some of the increase in demand. On the contrary, the discovery of more and bigger reserves in the United States this quarter has meant that there is less of a chance for investors to benefit from the increase in oil prices.
