AS oil traded at around US$35 a barrel this week for the first time since the financial crisis, there is a bet that crude prices may decline below US$30 and possibly at or below US$25 in the first quarter as global supplies grow next year.
London-based hedge fund manager Pierre Andurand, who’s been betting on falling prices since September 2014, expects global supplies to expand by 1.6 million barrels a day and in Opec (Organisation of Petroleum Exporters) nations by 900,000 barrels a day in the first half of 2016.
