The June 2024 Short-Term Energy Outlook by the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) presents several forecasts for energy prices and production through 2025. Notably, Brent crude oil prices are predicted to increase slightly reflecting adjustments due to OPEC+ production cuts extending through the third quarter of 2024. U.S. crude oil production is expected to rise.
OPEC+ is expected to start relaxing its voluntary production cuts in the fourth quarter of 2024, which is later than previously anticipated. This adjustment is expected to sustain a decline in global oil inventories through the first quarter of 2025. Despite these cuts and an anticipated rise in oil prices, the EIA has revised its Brent crude price forecast downward by 4% to $84 per barrel for 2024, based on lower-than-expected prices in May.
