BB Investimentos Releases 2024 Outlook Report, Focusing on Commodities and Stocks, Highlighting Chinese Imports and Projected Capacity Increase.
The BB Investimentos 2024 outlook report highlighted the importance of commodities in the coming year, as well as the impact on stocks. The bank points out that demand for pulp faced macroeconomic challenges in 2023, with expectations of slower global growth and the possibility of recession in the U.S. and Europe. The positive reaction to the increase in Chinese imports may indicate a price correction, but recovery will depend on supply and demand dynamics, which are expected to occur only starting in 2025, keeping prices at lower levels.
For oil in 2024, prices are expected to be limited by a combination of weaker demand and a higher supply level, given the latest OPEC decision to extend the cuts of about 2.2 million barrels/day only through the first quarter of 2024 (1Q24). BB’s projection is for an average Brent barrel price of US$ 87.10 for 2024. The decrease in geopolitical risks has removed part of the risk premium, shifting attention back to OPEC quota compliance and Chinese demand.
Commodities: Increase in Oil Demand Drives the Market
The commodities market is in constant motion, and the demand for oil continues to drive the sector. The Brent barrel has reached a new level, reflecting the increasing projection of Chinese imports and increased production capacity. The current scenario points to a decline in inventories, with supply unable to keep up with demand.
