Anmerkung
Food for thought: The initial drop in oil prices from mid-2014 to early 2015 was primarily due to supply factors such as booming US oil production, fading geopolitical concerns, and shifting OPEC policies. However, deteriorating demand prospects also played a role, particularly between mid-2015 and early 2016. This helps to explain why the drop in oil prices did not result in an immediate boost to global activity.

Anmerkung
According to CFTC data, retail traders are now the most net-long since December 22, when WTI was trading near $73 per barrel. We usually take a contrarian approach to crowd sentiment, and the fact that traders are net-long suggests that WTI prices will continue to fall.
