China's strong economy drives global oil consumption
Published on 27/03/2023
» Entering 2023, the price of crude oil is stable slightly lower than last year, the Russia-Ukraine war continues into the 2nd year, and China has returned to open the country which tends to increase oil demand. However, what affects the price of oil is not just the fundamental factors of oil production or consumption, but also economic and financial aspects that are linked to fund flows.

From December 2022 until now, the price of ICE Brent crude oil has never moved above $90 per barrel, compared to last year when the price exceeded $100 per barrel from March-August 2022 and even exceeded $128 per barrel for a while.
