Oil prices jumped recently after Saudi indicated that OPEC could slash output. The Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries plans to lower production to correct the recent oil price decline driven by poor futures market liquidity and recessionary fears. The decision has been taken despite the fact that the oil market is extremely tight. This could boost oil prices again by the beginning of 2023, says one analyst, as quoted on Yahoo Finance.

Plus, Europe has been grappling with energy shortages due to damage to a pipeline system bringing oil from Kazakhstan through Russia. U.S natural gas prices rallied this week to new 14-year highs over reserve concerns and the energy crisis in Europe. Heat waves in Europe also boosted the cooling demand.
Oil prices recently remained subdued amid worries of a global recessionary fears and the prospects of a nuclear deal with Iran. Truist Securities Managing Director of Energy Research Neal Dingmann believes oil could fall to about $80 per barrel this year, before jumping to $110 in early next year, as quoted on Yahoo Finance.
