In March 2025, the oil and gas sector experienced significant shifts, prompting a downgrade from a “Positive” to a “Neutral” outlook. Brent crude oil prices dropped by 16% year-over-year, reflecting market volatility driven by OPEC+’s decision to boost production and the implementation of trade tariffs under the Trump administration.
In contrast, Henry Hub natural gas prices soared by over 100% year-over-year, buoyed by rising demand. The upstream segment is expected to remain stable, with ongoing projects likely to proceed despite potential challenges from lower oil prices. Midstream operations appear resilient, supported by increased demand for liquefied natural gas (LNG) and storage facilities.
Downstream demand holds steady, though the petrochemical subsector continues its slow recovery. Looking ahead, the combination of OPEC+’s increased supply and U.S. trade tariffs is anticipated to exert negative pressure on the sector in the near to mid-term, contributing to the cautious revised outlook.
