Session 2

Roundtable Session - Long-Term Implications of Shifting Market Dynamics

  • Highlights of 2023 contracting.
  • Several emerging buyers paused their procurement activity in 2023 while offers remained high. Will the market see a slew of conclusions in 2024?

  • What price level can we expect to see for the next long-term oil-linked deal? Can buyers and sellers see eye-to-eye? Will the anticipation of another new supply wave bring slopes down despite the prevailing market tightness?
