According to the expert, "unless some force majeure happens," serious changes in the oil market should not be expected next week.

“In 2023, it is predicted that the market will remain in surplus, and this will hold back the growth in commodity prices, which will remain within $80-90 per barrel,” the specialist explained.

In the short term, important data for the oil market are statistics on China's GDP, as the stake is on the growth of consumption in the country after the lifting of coronavirus restrictions, the RT interlocutor added. 

“However, nothing of the kind has been observed so far, which does not give rise to raw material prices,” Sidorov explained.

Over the next week, depending on the news, as the investor noted, oil prices will be in the range of $82-85 per barrel.

Earlier, the European Union brought prices for oil products made from Russian oil in third countries out of the ceiling.
