Oil prices seen going higher in mid-2020


Analysts see prices climbing higher in the middle of the year as stronger emerging-market demand and the Opec cuts trim global inventories. Saudi Arabia surprised the market in early December with a deeper supply cut.

Analysts see prices climbing higher in the middle of the year as stronger emerging-market demand and the Opec+ cuts trim global inventories. Saudi Arabia surprised the market in early December with a deeper supply cut, which, along with signs of a thaw in the US-China trade conflict that may boost demand, lead some prominent analysts to revise their forecasts higher.
