Sproule: Global Energy Market Outlook 2023

Special Market Report

Over the past year, oil and gas prices around the globe have faced extreme volatility driven by inflation, recession risks, the continued development of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, and the resulting influence on energy security policies across the globe. The market remains tight amidst robust consumer activity despite high-interest rates, OPEC+ struggling to meet production quotas, and improving conditions in China.
