USCrude Outlook: Market Sentiment and Key Events for the Next 30 Days
The following factors may affect the price of USCrude:
- At the end of May, US and Iranian diplomats continued revising the draft peace agreement. However, it remains unclear how close the two sides are to resolving the conflict. President Donald Trump once again demanded that Iran abandon its nuclear program and fully restore freedom of navigation through the Strait of Hormuz.
- Although oil prices have declined over the past month amid prospects of a ceasefire between the US and Iran, they remain well above pre-war levels.
- This week, US forces struck Iranian targets near the Strait of Hormuz, destroying a missile launcher and intercepting drones. In response, Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps fired warning shots at vessels and claimed to have hit a US military base. The threat of attacks has spread beyond the Gulf region.
- Oil tankers were reportedly struck by drones off Turkey's Black Sea coast, causing significant disruptions to shipments bound for Asia. Japan's oil imports fell by nearly 66% year-on-year in April.
- According to Reuters, Saudi Arabia is prepared to lower its July official selling prices for most crude grades shipped to Asia.
- Analysts note that the recovery of oil supplies is likely to be slow. Mine clearance operations in the Strait of Hormuz, infrastructure repairs, and the restoration of oil production could take time.
- Oil prices continue to receive support from stalled peace talks and lower OPEC production. In March 2026, OPEC oil output fell to its lowest level since June 2020.
- By the end of June, Chinese imports of Saudi crude oil are expected to decline to 333,000 barrels per day from 1.4 million barrels per day at the end of last year.
- June 12 — University of Michigan inflation expectations for June and US Baker Hughes Oil Rig Count.
- June 16 — API Weekly Crude Oil Stock Report.
- June 17 — IEA Oil Market Report, FOMC Interest Rate Decision, FOMC Press Conference, EIA Crude Oil Inventories.
- June 18 — Philadelphia Fed Manufacturing Index (June), Baker Hughes US.
- June 19 — Juneteenth National Independence Day (US Market Holiday).
