Potential Decline in Oil Prices
Analysts predict that oil prices could drop below $40 a barrel, potentially reaching the lows seen during the pandemic. This forecast is largely influenced by OPEC's potential decision to unwind their production cuts, which they may strategically approach to undermine U.S. fracking operations. Despite the risks involved for OPEC, they could opt for this route to secure their market share as they face dwindling influence. If demand continues to stagnate, particularly with economic slowdowns, this could easily lead to a steep decline in oil prices.
