Golden Ten Data Agency released a fresh analysis from January 3, in which expert Phil Flynn from Price Futures Group revealed the key dynamics of the global oil market. The main conclusion can be summarized in one phrase: surplus supply has become the dominant factor shaping price policies.

Geopolitical risks do not affect the value

Despite ongoing geopolitical tensions generating concerns in the media space, practice shows otherwise. The oil market remains relatively calm and resilient. This observation is based on analysis by specialists from Price Futures Group, who monitor quotes in real-time.

Trading range stabilized price formation

According to Phil Flynn, prices are maintained within long-term trading corridors. This situation is explained by the sufficient reserves in the global market. Regardless of political events, the market is supplied with raw materials to meet current demand and even more.

Key conclusion

The analyst summarizes: as long as there is sufficient oil supply in the market, price jumps are unlikely. This dynamic primarily explains the current stability of quotes, while geopolitical factors play a secondary role.
