Commodity markets face headwinds from China and OPEC. Can bulls reassert control?

Topic: Diverging price trends across commodity markets suggest that fundamentals are back in the driving seat. Will demand be strong enough to cope with rising supply for oil, iron ore and copper in the year ahead?

Cutting back – a low energy demand pathway to net zero

The Global Climate Service quantifies the macroeconomic impacts of six climate scenarios against our Oxford Economics baseline. These scenarios help businesses understand the trade-offs and implications of climate mitigation. This quarter, our new scenario “Low Energy Demand” highlights the role of reducing energy demand in the clean energy transition. In this scenario, the failure to decarbonise the grid and develop necessary technology like carbon capture compels the world to reduce energy demand. We assume that stringent climate policies are essential to induce the efficiency improvements and behavioural change required to meet climate goals. As the world transforms to make do with less energy, the economy is structurally changed in the long term.
