Report summary
September’s focus on the potential for weak demand in China was pushed aside in early October due to the surge in geopolitical tension in the Middle East. After rising to $81/bbl on 7 October 2024, Brent gave back much of the risk premium and the focus on weak demand returned. Geopolitical tension remains and we discuss the risks to the oil market in this report.
