Citigroup analysts Francesco Martoccia and Ed Morse discussed their opinions on the changes in oil demand in a study released earlier in July. According to the researchers, the price of crude oil might fall to $65 per barrel by the end of 2022 and then much lower to $45 per barrel by 2023. In July and August, OPEC and its partners plan to raise crude oil production. Production has climbed by 400,000 barrels per day over the past two months, reaching 432,000 bpd monthly. On August 3, the cartel will get together once more to decide how to proceed. Many nations that produce oil rely on the revenue from crude oil to support their economies. The ideal scenario for falling oil prices would involve an excess supply and a reduction in demand. The Citigroup research has taken into account a number of oil market crises that date back to the 1970s.
