H1 2023: The Crude Oil price trajectory in the Asian region exhibited varied dynamics throughout first half of 2023. In Q1 2023, Asian market participants began choosing Russian crude oil to maximize profits, attracted by its cost-effectiveness. The sluggish recovery of China posed a global concern within the crude oil market, hindering the anticipated price surge globally. Notably, key Asian nations, including India, defied Western and U.S. banned and sanctions to initiate crude oil imports from Russia. Furthermore, a notable uptick in global crude oil inventory levels ensued, spurred by unexpectedly subdued demand in the international market amid a simultaneous increase in inventory levels. In the second quarter, the crude oil landscape in the Chinese market exhibited persistent volatility. The sluggish economic growth observed in both China and the United States exerted influence on the fluctuating prices of crude oil. Despite elevated inventories held by OPEC+ nations, prices demonstrated an overall rise in April on a monthly basis. However, OPEC+'s announcement of a production cut aimed at safeguarding margins contributed to a decline in prices during May in China. Moreover, the lethargic economic growth and escalating concerns about a recession in the United States impacted the demand fundamentals for crude oil in China.
The global Crude Oil market stood around 4395 thousand tonnes in 2022 and is expected to grow at a steady CAGR of 3.12% during the forecast period until 2032.
Crude oil, a pivotal commodity in the global energy landscape, serves as a foundational resource with multifaceted applications across industries.
