Where is the global oil economy headed?
During the forum, Argus will examine and address questions pertaining to oil and its macroeconomic outlook, supply chains, inflation, how these will affect oil demand growth prospects. We will share insights on Opec+ production, how the global crude oil market is responding to changing oil product demand, and how Ice Brent is becoming more Europe-focused, as well as the effect of this on its price and the Asian oil market. We will also look at how Russian crude oil imports to Asia have affected regional supply and demand fundamentals, and the effects of the new TMX pipeline on the Asian crude oil market.
