Brent Crude Oil to reach $88 by year-end – Deutsche Bank
Source Fxstreet
Strategists at Deutsche Bank forecast Brent at $88/bbl by the end of 2024.
Continued OPEC+ discipline in a nearly balanced market for H1, and seasonal strength in H2
2024 Brent forecast at $88/bbl.
We look for continued OPEC+ discipline in a nearly balanced market for H1, and seasonal strength in H2.
With January OPEC compliance with voluntary curbs at ~50%, we see little upside for our H1 Brent $83/bbl.
The first possibility of relaxation of OPEC+ supply cuts will be in Q3 against a backdrop of tighter balances and higher prices, underpinned by seasonal strength.

Micron's $4.5 billion Taiwan fab won't make a chip until 2028 — the market sold it as a 2026 problemMicron fell 17.46% to $656.39 after Bloomberg reported construction at its $4.5 billion Taoyuan Fab 11E had all but halted over a labor dispute. The plant was not due online until 2028, so no 2026 output is lost. With FY27 EPS consensus near $160 and 2027 HBM sold out, the selloff is a peak-cycle multiple reset, not a demand collapse — and $650 is the line that separates the two.

The CPI that has no year-over-year number is the one that decides DecemberOctober CPI lands on Nov 10 at 13:30 GMT, and it will be published without a year-over-year figure: BLS never collected October 2025 prices during the federal shutdown. Consensus is +0.3% headline and +0.2% core month-on-month, against +0.6% and +0.3% in September. With December hike odds at 77%, the month-on-month print is now the whole story, and $4,197–4,202 on gold and 4.86% on the 10-year are the levels that price it.

Weekly Report: The AI capex consensus was wrong last week — the scorecard points to one crowding riskThree consensus calls went into last week. Two were wrong: the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index fell 12.15% and Micron dropped 17.46% after beating estimates, while the Dow lost only 0.94%. The scorecard says the mistake was not about AI demand but about how crowded the trade had become — and CoreWeave, Cisco and Applied Materials will grade it again this week.
