Markets Seek Momentum as Oil Prices Rise
Madrid/December 17, 2025 – Global stock markets are looking for signals of momentum following the recent rebound in oil prices after a previous decline. In October, the average price per barrel of OPEC crude stood at $91.85, a 2.91% drop from September, although it has shown signs of recent increase.
Mixed employment data in the U.S. could influence the direction of Federal Reserve policies, impacting markets directly. Despite the drop in oil prices, expectations of relief in supply and rising demand have created an optimistic atmosphere among investors.
With OPEC making strategic adjustments, analysts suggest that oil could reclaim its lost ground, potentially boosting both stock indices and energy-related equities. However, investors should remain cautious regarding inflation forecasts and upcoming monetary policy decisions.
As markets seek new incentives, oil could become a key factor influencing investment directions in the months ahead.
