Specifically, strong demand growth in Asia and North America since 2004 resulted in higher prices until the 2008 financial crisis. After the GFC the prolonged high prices led to an explosion in upstream investment and by 2014 this led to an increased supply of oil in the US from the shale and fracking, from the tar sands of Canada, and from new wells in West Africa.<\/p><p>In the wake of COVID-19, Russia vs Saudi Arabia falling out at an OPEC+ meeting resulted in Saudi Arabia pumping out so much crude that for the first time ever in the history of the markets, the oil futures markets went negative. As a result of the extreme oversupply, oil inventories were extremely high during the beginning of 2020 compared to historical levels. OPEC+&#8217;s continued market management and steady recovery of demand in the 2nd half of 2020, led to a sharp decline in global inventories from the 4th quarter of 2020. The oil inventories are expected to reach pre-COVID-19 levels soon and back to 2014 levels by the end of the year, maybe early 2022.<\/p><p>Oil demand growth has been supported by a strong economic rebound through 2021, albeit at a slow pace across different regions and across different types of fuel. Jet fuel has only just started to pick up in demand. The spread of the delta variant and consequent mobility restrictions particularly in Asia, impacted oil demand recovery through the middle of the year. India&#8217;s oil demand declined to 4.6Mbd as they saw a horrific outbreak of COVID-19-19 and China also saw a decrease of 0.5Mbd between August and October. Due to the accelerated vaccine rollout and the loosened mobility restrictions, demand rebounded strongly in North America and Europe, though new waves are always lurking causing new potential demand side destruction. On a plus side, Oil demand in the US reached 20.7Mbd in Q3 2021, slightly higher than pre-COVID-19 levels.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-903857c elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"903857c\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-row\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-f93bfb0\" data-id=\"f93bfb0\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-26390a9 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"26390a9\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-image\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/3w3WBVG\" target=\"_blank\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"545\" src=\"https:\/\/youtrading.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Oil-D1.png\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-18233\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-3b4b4984 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"3b4b4984\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-row\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-27820b38\" data-id=\"27820b38\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7d44c8df elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"7d44c8df\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-text-editor elementor-clearfix\">\n\t\t\t\t<p><a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/3w3WBVG\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">See real-time quotes<\/a> provided by our partner.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-a01ed46 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"a01ed46\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-row\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-0395a8d\" data-id=\"0395a8d\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-77f783a elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"77f783a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-text-editor elementor-clearfix\">\n\t\t\t\t<p>If oil breeches the November 5<sup>th<\/sup> lows, there is a real chance that the change in trend could lead to a retest of the $70-$72 per barrel price levels.
