The Brent crude oil outlook turns on overbought momentum, slowing oil demand growth and attacks on energy infrastructure ahead of key elections.
Razan Hilal, StoneX Media Market Analyst, walks through the Brent crude and energy sector ETF charts and the escalation and de-escalation scenarios in play.
