Oil Prices Expected To Head Lower On Strong US Supplies

The next move for world oil prices is likely lower, as growing U.S. oil supplies outweigh some of the impact of the geopolitical tensions surrounding Ukraine.

The U.S. oil boom is having a bigger impact on world oil prices, and now the release of more crude via the southern leg of the newly opened Keystone pipeline running from Cushing, Okla., to Port Arthur, Texas, is creating a gusher of new supply in the Gulf Coast.

“I’m pretty bearish crude prices because I see there’s a significant amount of supply out there, and I suspect U.S. supply is going to continue to grow through the course of the year,” said Andrew Lipow, president of Lipow Oil Associates. “I suspect by the end of the year, we’ll be producing close to 9 million barrels a day.”
