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.

Energy Stocks Outlook 2026: Dec. 25, 2025 News Roundup on Oil Prices, LNG, Natural Gas and Sanctions

Reuters But on the headlines side, developments involving Venezuela, Russia, and European sanctions are keeping risk discussions alive—especially in LNG and shipping-linked names. Reuters

NEW YORK — December 16, 2025: U.S. energy stocks are under pressure in Tuesday’s session as crude oil breaks to fresh multi-year lows, dragging down the sector’s biggest names—integrated majors, shale producers, and oilfield services—while refiners also slump as fuel prices weaken.

Gas Price Crash: Pump Prices Near $3 for First Time in Years – How Low Can They Go?

Gas Price Crash: Pump Prices Near $3 for First Time in Years – How Low Can They Go?

American drivers are enjoying a level of pump price relief not seen in several years. The national average price for regular gasoline is now hovering around $3.05 a gallon, the lowest in roughly four years foxbusiness.com. Just a month ago it was about $3.20, and a year ago it was around $3.20 as well – meaning prices have fallen about 10¢ in the past month and 15¢ versus this time last year foxbusiness.com. In fact, gas prices have steadily declined for seven straight weeks, reaching their cheapest levels of 2025 so far ts2.tech. Some pricing sources show the key $3 threshold being breached. On Sunday, GasBuddy – which tracks pump transactions – recorded a national average of $2.99 per gallon money.com. This was the first time any tracker saw a “2” handle on U.S. gas since late 2024, and GasBuddy data even hit an intraday low of $2.97 on Monday money.com. Official government and AAA estimates have hovered just above $3 money.com, but the trend is clearly downward across datasets.
