“We maintain our view that oil prices will stay broadly stable this year. We forecast the price on Brent crude to average USD62/bbl in Q1 and Q2 and USD64/bbl in Q3 and Q4”.
“In 2019, we forecast the price on Brent crude to average USD65/bbl. We see asymmetric risks to our forecasts from risk of negative supply shock, e.g. if the US reinstates nuclear-related sanctions on Iran and the risk of a positive supply shock if OPEC and non-OPEC end production cuts early”.
