Webinar Invitation – Energy Wars: Oil Price, Where Next?
Register to attend ETF Securities’ upcoming webinar
Date: 22 October 2015 | Time: 2.00 pm (BST) | Duration: 50 minutes
Guest Speaker: Richard Mallinson, Geopolitical Analyst
Summary – Energy Wars: Oil Price, Where Next?
As part of our “Energy Wars” series we welcome Richard Mallinson, a leading geopolitical analyst at Energy Aspects to join Nitesh Shah, our in-house commodities specialist, to discuss where next for the oil price.
Low oil prices have stimulated demand growth and sharp capex cuts. US tight oil production is beginning to decline, but output is still rising elsewhere and the market remains oversupplied. The debate is now focussed on how quickly the oil market will rebalance, which depends on both the impact of lower upstream investment and the trajectory for demand.
OPEC members and other producer nations such as Russia are feeling the strain from lower oil revenues. A change in OPEC policy appears unlikely, but low prices are fuelling geopolitical risks, particularly in the already troubled Middle East region.
Our upcoming webinar will answer the following questions:
• What impact will cuts to capex have on future supply?
• How are OPEC members and other producer nations coping with lower oil and gas revenues? Where are the key geopolitical risks?
• What is the outlook for global demand?
