PETALING JAYA: Analysts have become more optimistic on the crude oil price outlook, thus raising their price forecasts on the commodity.
Maybank Investment Bank Research (Maybank IB) in its report said it had raised its crude oil price assumption to US$55-US$60 per barrel for 2021 from US$45-US$50 per barrel before.
“Our revised estimates are generally in line with consensus (EIA & Fitch Solutions: US$53 per barrel). A more promising Covid-19 vaccine development/outlook and the effect of underinvestment kicking in could further elevate optimism in the oil market, ” Maybank IB said.
