    Global Commodities: Oil Outlook 2025/2026: Promises made, promises kept

    President-elect Trump will return to the White House in January with a commitment to rapidly defeat inflation by lowering energy prices. Trump’s energy agenda presents downside risks to oil prices from deregulation and increased US production, while also posing upside risks by exerting pressure on Iran, Venezuela, and possibly Russia to limit their oil exports and revenues. But with US oil supply growth moderating and GCC countries unlikely to offset lost exports, any policies that might raise oil prices will likely defer to Trump’s key objective of maintaining low energy prices. Weak oil supply-demand fundamentals may, however, help Trump keep his promise to bring down oil prices. Our view on 2025 has remained largely unchanged over the past year: we look for a large 1.3 mbd surplus and an average Brent of $73, although we expect prices to close the year firmly below $70, with WTI at $64. In 2026, another year of large surpluses will drive Brent prices below $60 by year-end, with an average Brent forecast of $61 and WTI at $57.   Speaker: Natasha Kaneva, Head of Global Commodities Research   This podcast was recorded on 22, November 2024.

    EM as an Asset Class 2024

    Last month our team published “EM as an Asset Class Evolves and Diversifies,” an update of the EM as an Asset Class series that J.P. Morgan research has been producing over the past two decades. In the report we take a longer-term look at how the outlook for EM has shifted as the asset class has evolved.   Within the report you can find our “EM Sovereign Credit Markets” section, which we review in this webinar. In short: sovereign debt levels have risen but without the wave of defaults that were feared after the pandemic, and credit ratings have now stabilized. In our section we analyze the cyclicality of EM sovereign credit spreads versus the more idiosyncratic nature of sovereign defaults; highlight the evolution of the EM sovereign debt architecture; update our analysis of external financing trends and debt dynamics; and we look into ownership of the asset class.    Speakers:Ben Ramsey, Emerging Markets ResearchNishant Poojary,  Emerging Markets StrategyGorka Lalaguna, Emerging Markets StrategyFariha Ahmmed, Emerging Markets Strategy   This podcast was recorded on 19, November 2024.

    US Rates Strategy: Core CPI inflation holds above 3%, but where is the love for TIPS?

    US Rates Strategist Phoebe White discusses her takeaways from the October CPI report, as well as the path ahead for US rates and inflation markets. October CPI showed broad-based strength, outside of some idiosyncratic weakness in core goods prices, and points to some stickiness in core services inflation, even before considering upside risks stemming from policy uncertainty. With Treasury valuations cheap and the Fed maintaining an easing bias, there is likely limited room for yields to rise further. TIPS breakevens are likely to outperform their historical beta to nominal yields in a rally. Speaker: Phoebe White, Head of US Inflation Strategy This podcast was recorded on 15 November 2024.

    Global Commodities: European Natural Gas: Weather and supply-side risks tighten their grip on price

    Since late-October, a price premium has been building in the TTF natural gas market, particularly summer 2025. Starting the winter season with lower storage in the ground relative to last year, the European natural gas market has had to contend with a colder than normal November, a huge amount of uncertainty regarding whether Russian gas will flow through Ukraine in 2025, and slower than anticipated commencement timelines for new North American LNG export projects. We will discuss whether this risk premium is justified and how we see risks to the current price relationship between summer 2025 and winter 2025-26.   Speakers: Shikha Chaturvedi, Head of Global Natural Gas Research Otar Dgebuadze, Global Natural Gas Research   This podcast was recorded on 15, November 2024.
