Oil prices have yet to show significant movement following US President Donald Trump’s win, says Mukesh Sahdev, Rystad Energy’s global head of commodity markets for oil.

“Brent has entered a correction phase, ending several weeks of gains after surpassing the US$75-per-barrel mark, pre-victory. This correction reflects expectations of increased US supply and a potential demand slowdown tied to a tariff-driven approach toward key trading partners, particularly China,” says Sahdev in a Nov 7 note.

As the market navigates shifting political and geopolitical hurdles, oil prices remain under pressure from ongoing supply chain disruptions and a sluggish macroeconomic recovery, says Sahdev.
