Oil price forecast: Brent, WTI slide on Trump Venezuela move as 2026 surplus looms

New York, Jan 7, 2026, 14:45 — Regular session Oil prices fell on Wednesday after President Donald Trump said Venezuela would turn over 30 million to 50 million barrels of sanctioned crude to the United States, feeding fears of more supply in an already well-stocked market. Brent crude futures were down 40 cents, or 0.7%, at $60.31 a barrel by 11:05 a.m. ET, after touching $59.88, and U.S. West Texas Intermediate was down 74 cents, or 1.3%, at $56.39 after hitting $55.76; both benchmarks slid more than $1 in the previous session. SEB analyst Ole Hvalbye called the volumes small next to the U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve, the emergency stockpile, while Morgan Stanley estimated the market could tip into a surplus of up to 3 million barrels per day in the first half of 2026.

  • 5 P&C Insurers Seen Growing as Sector Shifts Toward Digital, Gains Exposure
    July 1, 2026, 3:13 PM EDT. Property and Casualty (P&C) insurers are facing softer pricing, but prudent underwriting, exposure growth, and more digitalization are helping the industry.
