Mark Clubb, CEO of TEAM Asset Management plc commented, “The transition to a carbon free world could be interrupted by soaring crude prices. No matter how “doomed” crude oil may be over the long term, it could deliver some spectacular short-term gains. In the today, demand for oil during the last several months has been rebounding sharply. As it continues to rebound, so the oil price could go higher. Furthermore, oil and gas companies have been slashing the exploration budgets for many years. Global investments in oil and gas exploration and production have plummeted by about 65% since 2014. A tightening oil market, coupled with a rising inflationary trend, provides ample reason to expect oil and gas shares to deliver strong performances in 2022.”
