USCrude Outlook: Market Sentiment and Key Events for the Next 30 Days

The following factors may affect the price of USCrude:

• Many global leaders have stated their readiness to intervene in the Middle East conflict in order to limit the impact of the war in Iran on global energy markets.

• G7 countries have instructed the International Energy Agency (IEA) to urgently develop plans to release strategic oil reserves onto the market.

• US President Donald Trump announced a temporary suspension of several sanctions restricting oil trade, which is expected to increase supply. In early March, the US Treasury announced a 30-day lifting of the ban on Indian refineries purchasing Russian oil. This measure should ensure a steady flow of oil to the global market.

• At the same time, Trump ordered the US Navy to provide military escorts for commercial tankers passing through the strategically important Strait of Hormuz to secure oil transportation routes. He also noted that the administration remains open to dialogue with Tehran.

• Despite a sharp correction following the initial surge, oil prices remain elevated. These prices reflect market concerns that the conflict could disrupt oil supplies from the Middle East for an extended period, as the region remains the world’s main oil producer.

• Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, and the UAE were forced to cut oil production by a combined 6.7 million barrels per day as a precautionary measure. The reasons include both direct threats to infrastructure and disruptions in logistics chains.

• Mar. 11 — OPEC monthly report, US February Consumer Price Index (CPI), and US crude oil inventory data.

• Mar. 13 — US Q3 2025 GDP data, University of Michigan 5-year consumer inflation expectations index, and total Baker Hughes US rig count.

• Mar. 15 — US February industrial production data.

• Mar. 18 — February Producer Price Index (PPI) data and the Federal Reserve’s interest rate decision.

• Mar. 19 — Philadelphia Fed Manufacturing Index for March.

• Mar. 20 — Total Baker Hughes US rig count data.

• Mar. 24 — March PMI data for the manufacturing and services sectors.
