Strong future growth drivers Signs of progress in resolving Europe's long-running sovereign debt crisis and a tightening global supply picture in view of the geopolitical fallout over Iran's alleged nuclear ambitions have been keeping oil prices at elevated levels. Partly offsetting this favorable view has been high U.S. crude stocks and worries about China s growth outlook. As such, crude oil s near-term fundamentals remain mixed, to say the least. The long-term outlook for oil, however, remains favorable given the commodity s constrained supply picture. In particular, while the Western economies exhibit sluggish growth prospects, global oil consumption is expected to get a boost from continued strength in the major emerging powers like India, China and Brazil that continue to grow at a healthy rate. In my view, crude oil prices in 2012 are likely to witness significant upside -- rather than downside -- given the considerable supply tightness in the market. While domestic demand is relatively soft and the global economy still showing signs of weakness, the fact that demand is outpacing supply appears to be palpably evident. As long as growth from the developing nations continues and the global output is unable to keep up with that, we are likely to experience a surge in the price of a barrel of oil. With a seven-billion-strong world population and all the easy oil being already discovered and expended, we assume that crude will trade in the $95-$105 per barrel range in the near future.
