J.P. Morgan is the latest among Wall Street banks to downgrade oil & gas companies in Asia.
The bank now sees that Brent crude can fall below $40 per barrel in the near-term, “should the oil market not be able to accommodate a 1.6mb/d surplus,” that Brent crude will average at only $49 per barrel this year and $56.8 next, and that the recovery will be a slow U-shape.
