Analysts see no repeat of oil rally in 2009

摘要

Brent will average 118/bl this year and 117/bl in 2009, a poll of analysts shows (see table). Most analysts surveyed agree that, barring major geopolitical or weather-induced supply disruption, front-monJh.IcjsJJrent futures have peaked this year at 147.50/bl on 11 July. Some analysts raised quarterly and 2008 price predictions to reflect a spike of more than 30/bl over the past four months since the last Argus survey (AGM, 2 June, p3).
