## Elevator Pitch

- Oil powers the global economy. Having an outlook on oil market dynamics is a core part of my investment process as it helps in idea generation and evaluation.
- A warmer winter puts Europe in a position with ample natural gas buffers, reducing incremental energy demand and hence putting downward pressure on oil prices.
- British Petroleum has recently announced plans to increase investment in US O&G production by 40% in 2023, increasing supply and hence putting a lid on oil prices.
- The much awaited reopening of the Chinese economy has disappointed expectations in demand uptick. This, combined with the prospects of global economic slowdown, is not constructive for oil prices.
- I believe there is further downside for oil prices. The supply expansions make me incrementally more constructive on mid-stream O&G. The falling oil prices make me interested in oil import nations such as India.
