US oil prices will trade in the $80 to $100 per barrel range in 2023, but global oil stockpiles are largely expected to remain tight and supply chain and inflationary pressures will likely continue to hamper fossil fuel production, according to investors surveyed by Barclays at its CEO Energy & Power Conference. A little more than half of the survey respondents projected US oil production growth of 500,000 barrels per day to 700,000 bpd between the fourth quarter of 2022 and the same period of 2023.

A third, outsized rate hike is an unprecedented move by the Federal Reserve. But extraordinary inflation calls for extraordinary measures.

U.S. oil futures settle at their lowest in nearly 2 weeks
Oil futures declined...
Oil futures declined on Tuesday, with U.S. benchmark prices settling at their lowest in almost two weeks. "A strong U.S. dollar, rising yields and concerns over demand as the global economy slows is weighing on crude oil prices again," said Michael Hewson, chief market analyst at CMC Markets UK. Markets are gearing up for "multiple rate hikes this week from the Federal Reserve, Bank of England and Swiss National Bank," he said. "Fears over tight [oil] supply aren't having the supportive effect on prices that [we] would normally expect, however it also means they probably won't dip too far either." October WTI crude CLV22, -1.80% fell $1.28, or 1.5%, to settle at $84.45 barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange on the contract's expiration day. That was the lowest finish for a front-month contract since Sept. 8, FactSet data show. The November contract CLX22, 0.17%, which became the front month at the end of the session, settled at $83.94, down $1.42, or 1.7%.
