Overview
Bloomberg invites you to our latest oil markets event at Bloomberg’s EMEA headquarters in London, run during International Energy Week.
Take a look through the oil market kaleidoscope and you could be forgiven for coming away with blurry eyes. Re-routing of decades-old flows across crude and refined products, an unclear trajectory for demand recovery in China, the actions of Central Banks looking to tame inflation and mitigate the threat of recessions, and geo-politics never far away. The horizon looks stormy.
The afternoon will consider the interplay of oil market fundamentals and macro from a range of perspectives. We will hear from industry leaders during our panel discussion, moderated this year by Anna Edwards. BNEF’s oil analyst group will present their near-term forecasts, and we will finish with update on the economic outlook from Bloomberg Chief European Economist, Jamie Rush.
The event will close with a networking session where you can share time with industry peers and the Bloomberg Commodities group.
We look forward to welcoming you and your colleagues.
