Description

This month Brent fell to a three-year low below $70pb following OPEC's confirmation that it will begin unwinding cuts in Q2. The move adds downward pressure to prices in an already bearish environment as softer global economic growth prospects are weighing on oil demand. We have downgraded our oil price forecast with Brent set to average $70.50pb this year.
