Why Are Oil Prices Dropping?

By , Associate Editor, Money Morning -

why are oil prices dropping

Oil prices dropped 17% since the start of the year, taking oil to a seven-month low.

Crude oil prices are now down 20% since their 2017 high of $54.33, and that means we are at the start of an oil bear market.

Here's why oil prices are so low right now and why they could be making a double-digit rebound by the end of the summer...

why are oil prices so low

Oil prices are down 14% on the year, despite OPEC starting and extending its 1.8-million-barrel oil production cut agreement in 2017.

The oil price drop surprised investors because OPEC reached a deal to cut oil production on Nov. 30, 2016.

Here's why oil prices have dropped this year and why we expect they'll rise over the summer to hit our latest oil price target...

My Oil Price Forecast Shows Why Crude Supplies and Imports Are Rising

By , Global Energy Strategist, Oil & Energy Investor • @KentMoors_OEI -

oil price forecast

U.S. crude inventories are sitting at record highs of around 2.05 billion barrels right now.

That's not a surprise. After all, there's a lingering global crude glut.

But what's surprising - at first glance - are U.S. crude imports. They're up by close to 1 million barrels per day. The country took in 8.64 million barrels per day in the week ending March 25, compared to just 7.69 million over the same period a year ago. 

Therein lies what appears to be a paradox: Why on Earth would we import more oil when we may be forced to fill swimming pools with it soon?

The answer is very simple, and it becomes clear when you see my oil price targets...

How to Profit from the "Great Oil Turnaround" of 2016

By , Global Energy Strategist, Oil & Energy Investor • @KentMoors_OEI -

oil

We've been able to make energy profits during the oil bear because I'm tracking opportunities outside of petroleum. One of my favorite alternative "oil-killer" energy plays, for instance, is up 45% since I recommended it. The global energy balance is simply shifting to favor these alternative energy sources.

But oil is still vitally important, and I'm pleased to report that it's going to be a bigger source of profits moving forward...

You see, towards the end of February, we saw signs that oil is about to turn the corner, with oil prices shooting up 8.5% in a single week.

While they later fell a bit, showing that volatility is still the name of the game, make no mistake...

A sustained rise in oil prices is coming.

To prepare for this trend, I've put together a plan for us to profit.

I'm tracking several companies across four different categories, but this one strategy will get you perfectly positioned to capture the biggest possible profits from the coming end of oil's decline.

In a moment, you'll see exactly how this plan will work.

But first, here's what's changed to allow for this turnaround in oil prices...
