Given increasing geopolitical concerns, rising oil prices, and extending OPEC+ production cuts, the oil and gas market is poised for robust growth. Therefore, fundamentally solid energy stocks Cenovus Energy (CVE), Suncor Energy (SU), and Energy Transfer (ET) could be ideal investment choices. Read more... The ongoing conflicts in the Middle East have significantly impacted the supply and demand of oil and gas across the globe. Due to the constrained supplies, world oil and gas demand is expected to see unprecedented growth.
Given the industry tailwinds, it could be wise to invest in fundamentally sound energy stocks Cenovus Energy Inc. (<a href="https://stocknews.com/stock/CVE/">CVE</a>), Suncor Energy Inc. (<a href="https://stocknews.com/stock/SU/">SU</a>), and Energy Transfer LP (<a href="https://stocknews.com/stock/ET/">ET</a>) for gains amid global demand.
In its recent short-term energy outlook, <a href="https://www.eia.gov/outlooks/steo/">EIA expects an increase of over 1.0 million</a> barrels per day (b/d) in global consumption of liquid fuels this year, and stronger growth is projected in the next year, with global oil consumption rising by 1.2 million b/d.
Also, escalating geopolitical risks in the Middle East and withdrawals from global oil inventories stemming from OPEC+ production cuts are likely to pressure oil prices upwards over the next few months, with the Brent crude oil price averaging $78 per barrel (b) in the first quarter of 2025.
EIA also forecasts that the <a href="https://www.iea.org/reports/oil-market-report-november-2024">world oil demand will expand by 920 kb/d in 2024</a> and by 1 mb/d in 2025, respectively, to 102.8 mb/d and 103.8 mb/d.
