According to the news by Hilal Sarı on my research.com, oil demand is expected to record a record in the third quarter of 2023, with the ongoing supply cuts of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries and its allies (OPEC+) and the government's support for economic growth in China. According to some financial institutions, with this increase in demand, oil prices will approach the level of $100/barrel by the end of the year. While Goldman Sachs announced the year-end forecast for Brent oil as 86 dollars/barrel, ANZ's year-end forecast for Brent is 100 dollars/barrel and UBS's year-end forecast is 95 dollars/barrel.
With the ongoing cuts on the supply side and the incentive statements from China, the price of Brent oil per barrel increased by 5 percent in the last 5 days , exceeding the $ 83 last seen in April . WTI also rose above 5 percent in the last 5 days, reaching the level of 79.74, the peak of 5 months, at the limit of 80 dollars.
