US Energy Outlook

The analysis indicates a potential bearish trend for crude oil prices in the coming year, primarily due to an increase in US energy production and efforts to reduce energy costs. Supply is projected to outpace demand, leading to a decline in crude prices, while other commodities like gold and silver may continue to perform well. As the Federal Reserve begins cutting rates, this shift often benefits precious metals, making them an attractive investment. The upcoming administration is also expected to push for significant infrastructure development to bolster the energy sector, suggesting a strategic focus on self-sufficiency.
