Abstract:International oil prices have declined for two consecutive days, mainly due to the impact of U.S. tariff hikes, which have intensified market concerns over a global economic slowdown.
OPEC+ plans to increase production starting in April, further adding to market supply pressure and weighing on oil prices.
Recently, U.S. President Donald Trump announced tariff increases on products from Canada, Mexico, and several Asian countries, stating that trade pressure would not be eased. This policy has triggered market panic, prompting investors to reassess the global economic outlook and anticipate a decline in energy demand.
Additionally, investors are worried that the U.S. economy may be entering a “transition period” or even facing a recession, leading to heightened risk aversion and the sell-off of crude oil and other risk assets. Meanwhile, OPEC+s decision to increase production has created additional pressure on the supply side. Although Russia has hinted at possible adjustments, short-term supply growth still poses a challenge to oil prices.
In the short term, oil prices remain under downward pressure, but the market will closely monitor OPEC and IEA‘s monthly reports, U.S. inventory data, and the Federal Reserve’s monetary policy stance. If demand declines more than expected or crude oil inventories continue to rise, prices may fall further.
However, if the Federal Reserve adopts a more dovish stance, market sentiment may recover to some extent. Overall, given the economic slowdown, rising risk aversion, and OPEC+ production increases, the outlook for oil prices remains uncertain.
