In this Arabic interview, host Speaker A welcomes Dr. Omid Shokri, a faculty member at George Mason University, to discuss the current fundamentals of the oil market and the outlook for the coming months. Dr. Shokri explains that the market is in a relative balance and expects Brent to trade between $75‑$85 per barrel by the end of 2023, with similar levels into early 2024. He attributes this range to the ongoing Israel‑Hamas war, noting that unless Iran or its proxies become directly involved, the risk premium that lifted prices in recent weeks will likely recede. He warns that any escalation could disrupt key shipping chokepoints such as the Strait of Hormuz and the Red Sea, reigniting price spikes. The interview also covers weak demand signals from China (and India), which are dragging down global oil consumption and could pressure prices lower, especially if Russian exporters increase volumes to compensate for sanctions. Dr. Shokri notes that OPEC members, led by Saudi Arabia, are attempting to curb output to sustain the $75‑$85 band, and that upcoming OPEC and IEA reports at month‑end will be closely watched for any policy shifts. Throughout, he emphasizes a cautious but not overly pessimistic view, stressing that diplomatic de‑escalation in the Middle East and steady OPEC coordination are key to maintaining price stability.
