Recommendation

Oil prices giveth, and oil prices taketh away. The US shale boom threw a huge curveball to a world economy accustomed to ever-rising oil prices. In this elegantly written study, the Economist Intelligence Unit serves up a scorecard: Some of the winners (such as airlines and US motorists) and losers (like Russia and Venezuela) are obvious, others less so. getAbstract recommends this enlightening report to investors, executives and decision makers everywhere seeking a global perspective on energy markets.

Take-Aways

  • The spike in US oil production from 2011 to 2014, along with continuing weak global demand, has contributed to falling oil prices.
  • The world economy stands to benefit, as will oil-intensive industries such as airlines, transport and manufacturing. US consumers will save nearly $100 billion at the gasoline pump in 2015 compared to 2013.
  • As well as oil-importing nations, countries that extend fossil fuel subsidies stand to gain: Cheap oil allows them to phase out supports with less pain to their citizens.
