Multiple supply and demand factors continue to support oil prices: on one hand, production cuts by oil-producing countries are tightening market supply; on the other hand, fluctuations in expectations for global economic recovery create uncertainty on the demand side for crude oil. The future path of oil prices will continue to be influenced jointly by geopolitical developments, major economies' energy policies, and other factors.
