What influences oil prices?
Despite efforts to reduce its consumption and discover alternative green energy sources, oil remains indispensable to the global economy. Oil is a commodity that is in high demand across the globe, so large fluctuations in its price could have far-reaching effects on the economy. There are two primary factors that increase the price of a barrel of crude oil:
- Supply and demand
- Market sentiment
Understanding the relationship between supply and demand is essential. It is normal to anticipate a price increase when demand exceeds supply. Conversely, the price should decrease according to the decline in demand (or supply rises). The current price of oil is established by the oil futures market. When you purchase a barrel of oil at a specified price at a future date, you enter a futures contract, which is a legally binding agreement. Each party to a futures contract must fulfill their obligations by the time specified. Emotion is another significant factor influencing oil prices. If speculators and hedgers purchase oil futures contracts in anticipation of a future increase in oil demand, present prices may increase considerably. The contrary is also true, and oil futures contracts may be sold (short-sold or shorted) on the premise that oil demand would diminish at some time, resulting in a significant price decrease in the present.
