Historical oil price cycles

We were at Stage 1 of the cycle in the late 1990s, when oil prices were bouncing between $20 and $30/bbl. In response to low prices, oil companies were conservative in their capital expenditures leading up to the early 2000s. In 2002 the price of oil slowly began to rise as demand growth outpaced new supplies and reduced the world’s spare capacity cushion. We were entering Stage 2. In 1996 dollars crude oil prices fluctuated between $14 - $16 during the same period. The apparent price increases were just keeping up with inflation. From 1958 to 1970 prices were stable at about $3.00 per barrel, but in real terms the price of crude oil declined from above $15 to below $12 per barrel. Zellou and Cuddington (2012) apply similar band-pass filter methods to the same crude oil price data as used in the paper by Mu and Ye (2012), and found, similar cyclical patterns, namely a short cycle of 6 years and a long cycle of 29 years. In oil, as of January 2018, we are in phase III of the commodity cycle, where capital expenditure in the oil sector is accelerating, rig count is increasing, and this provides the capacity for more supply to come online. Most upstream oil companies are profitable at USD$65 WTI Picking the exact date when an oil cycle will end is difficult, but with the last six major oil price cycles lasting an average of two years, a balanced market cannot be far away Get the latest Crude Oil price (CL:NMX) as well as the latest futures prices and other commodity market news at Nasdaq.

Gold, for example, tends to be less correlated to swings in the economy than oil and industrial commodities. Gold can remain in a major trend for years or even decades. Gold prices crashed from $850/oz in 1980 to $300/oz in 1982. It wasn’t until 2002 that gold crossed above the $300 level for the final time.
