WTIUSD

Although commodities have experienced a 10.55% loss in value since the beginning of 2025, they recorded a recovery of 0.81% on the last trading day. When assessing macroeconomic factors, the new sanctions imposed by the U.S. and the significant decrease in American crude oil stocks emerge as supportive elements for prices. However, trade tensions between the U.S. and China, along with the policy preferences of the U.S. administration, are increasing uncertainty in the oil market. According to projections by the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA), Brent oil prices, which have a positive correlation with crude oil, are expected to average $68 in 2025 and $61 in 2026. In the sector outlook, due to the decision by OPEC+ countries to increase production, the rise in production in non-OPEC countries, and the slowdown in global oil demand growth, an increase in global oil stocks is expected from the second half of 2025. Technically evaluated, while recoveries in crude oil prices are seen in the medium term, it is anticipated that selling pressure may continue and forming a positive technical outlook could be challenging.
