» 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.
