Commerzbank Research Team notes a significant decline in Oil prices, with Brent trading down over USD 4 from last week's close. The report attributes the drop to geopolitical tensions and production adjustments from OPEC+. It notes that the outlook for oil supply may become more abundant as production targets remain unchanged, with key decisions expected in April.
