Vaccine to push Brent price to $60 by end-2021

With widespread vaccination against COVID-19 now increasingly likely, we are revising up our oil demand forecasts for next year. And while OPEC+ will probably raise output a little faster in response, we still think that the oil market will remain in a deficit resulting in higher prices by end-2021. Webinar Invite: The European outlook – From lockdowns to vaccines Thursday, 3 December Chief Europe Economist Andrew Kenningham will lead this special briefing with colleagues Jessica Hinds, Jack Allen-Reynolds and David Oxley to discuss Europe’s economy under lockdown. The team will preview the ECB’s December meeting, assess Sweden’s attempts to control the pandemic, and look ahead to the potential economic impact of vaccines in 2021.
