Geopolitical tensions nudge oil outlook higher, but demand concerns persist: Reuters poll
By Anmol Choubey and Kavya Balaraman (Reuters) -Analysts have marginally lifted their oil price forecasts after the flare-up of tensions in the Middle East, but rising OPEC+ supply and a tempered demand outlook continue to weigh on crude, a Reuters poll showed on Monday. A survey of 40 economists and analysts in June forecast Brent crude will average $67.86 per barrel in 2025, up from May's $66.98 forecast, while U.S. crude is seen at $64.51, above last month's $63.35 estimate. Prices have averaged roughly $70.80 and $67.50 so far this year respectively, as per LSEG data. The Iran-Israel conflict and the U.S. decision to intervene have led to sharp swings in oil prices this month, with Brent prices touching $81.40 before falling to settle at $67.14 after the ceasefire. "We envisage the region will remain on edge for the time being... leading to some lingering volatility in oil prices in coming days and weeks," said Suvro Sarkar, lead energy analyst at DBS Bank. However, many analysts saw price spikes from the conflict as temporary, barring any serious escalation in the region. As long as Gulf production stays online, rising OPEC+ output and comfortable inventories should limit crude's rally, said Cyrus De La Rubia, chief economist at Hamburg Commercial Bank. "We expect prices to settle back toward fundamentals if the Iran-Israel conflict does not broaden further," he added. OPEC+ in May agreed to another increase of 411,000 barrels per day of oil for July, bringing the total increases made or announced since April to 1.37 million bpd. These increases are having a significant impact on sentiment in a market already spooked by the impact of U.S. trade policy on global demand, said Matthew Sherwood, lead commodities analyst at EIU. "We expect OPEC+ to exert caution in raising production, even putting plans on hold indefinitely at the first signs that prices may fall significantly," Sherwood added. Meanwhile, analysts expect global oil demand to grow by an average of over 730,000 bpd in 2025, compared to 775,000 bpd in last month's poll. While the trade deal between the U.S. and China has somewhat alleviated demand concerns, markets are taking a cautious view of its impact. "The US-China trade deal may modestly support oil demand by improving market sentiment and trade flows, though its impact is likely to be limited and shaped by broader economic and supply dynamics," said Tobias Keller, analyst at UniCredit.

This Lush South Asian Island Is An Ideal Alternative To Bali
Sri Lanka became an independent country on February 4th, 1948. getty Long renowned for its verdant landscapes and historic temples, the Indonesian island of Bali draws droves of tourists each year to surf and sunbathe along its sandy shores—but in recent years, this influx of international visitors has caused serious strain on its local communities. As the island grapples with endless traffic jams and increased pollution, ethically-minded travelers may wish to set their sights on a different destination to alleviate some of the pressure, with Sri Lanka offering abundant natural beauty and fascinating cultural experiences with far fewer tourists. Though not particularly close to each other—Bali is a province within Indonesia's Lesser Sunda Islands, while Sri Lanka is an independent nation off the coast of India—the two destinations are both renowned for their lush landscapes, with plenty of hiking opportunities found across both islands. While Bali tourists might take part in the Campuhan Ridge Walk or embark on a sunrise trek to the peak of Mount Batur, those who visit Sri Lanka can find a wide range of outdoor adventure experiences, with sites like Bible Rock, Ella Rock and the Knuckles Mountain Range all offering marvelous views of the countryside. Meanwhile, surfing enthusiasts can spend their visit in the waters of Arugam Bay or Mirissa, both of which serve as an alternative to Bali's Uluwatu. The interior of Sri Lanka is home to towering mountains including Adam's Peak (pictured here). getty Beyond the natural splendor, Sri Lanka is also home to a storied culture that spans centuries, with bustling cities and idyllic temples found all across the country. During a trip to Bali, visitors are likely to visit iconic structures like the Uluwatu Temple and Tanah Lot Temple—and when it comes to eye-catching architecture, Sri Lanka is more than capable of matching the Lesser Sunda Islands, with sites like Isurumuniya and Thirukoneswaram Kovil drawing visitors in droves. Meanwhile, those who prefer urban exploration can spend their time navigating the storied streets of Colombo, with destinations spanning from the 1870s-era National Museum to the Dutch Hospital precinct, a lively plaza that's brimming with restaurants and artisanal shops. Though Bali and Sri Lanka are both rife with natural beauty, the latter outshines the former in one field in particular: wildlife tourism. While the Bali tiger was driven to extinction decades ago, Sri Lanka plays host to a staggering array of extant animals, with species like the sloth bear, leopard and Asian elephant roaming its lush forests. To catch a glimpse of its rich biodiversity in the flesh, Sri Lanka visitors can spend a day birdwatching with Yala Safari Holidays across the wetlands of Bundala National Park or spend a few nights at the Uga Chena Huts , a collection of seaside cabins that offer a seamless blend of world-class luxury and fauna-focused ecotourism. The Sri Lankan elephant is one of three recognized subspecies of the Asian elephant. getty It's easy to see how Bali has become such a magnet for vacationers, but the island has been suffering for years due to the effects of overtourism—and while it's still stunning today, it might be best to seek an alternative destination for your next holiday. During a visit to Sri Lanka, visitors can enjoy marvelous outdoor adventure expeditions paired with fascinating city tours, all while captivating flora and fauna thrives across the island. If you're hoping to explore an oft-underrated destination all while giving Bali some much-needed room to breathe, be sure to set aside some time to explore Sri Lanka, a gem of South Asia that's home to a truly dazzling array of destinations.

Oil Traders Expect a Fourth Bumper OPEC+ Oil Supply Increase
Oil traders expect OPEC+ will agree a fourth bumper oil supply increase this weekend as group leader Saudi Arabia continues its bid to reclaim market share. Eight key OPEC+ nations are preparing to discuss another hike of 411,000 barrels a day, due to take effect in August, delegates said last week. They'll likely approve the move when they hold a video conference on Sunday, according to a survey of 26 traders and analysts.
