How to use the dataset

This dataset is a great resource for anyone looking to analyze the current and historical prices of crude oil imports from the OECD. The data contains prices from member countries of the OECD and is updated regularly. This dataset can be used to study long term trends in price as well as explore differences between countries with different levels of crude oil import demand.

• In order to make use of this dataset, it’s important to familiarize yourself with the column names and descriptions. The first column is LOCATION which indicates which country or region the data applies to. INDICATOR indicates what information is being displayed (e.g., import market share, import value, etc.). SUBJECT describes what category that metric falls into (e.g., fuel energy). MEASURE tells you whether an amount is expressed in a unit or currency while FREQUENCY says how often data has been collected: monthly, quarterly or annually (average monthly/quarterly/annual etc..). TIME displays measure period start date in year-month format and Value denotes numerical value for each row's measurement respectively while flag codes indicate if any values are estimates or outlier measurements that should be examined further before using them

• Using this understanding, one could filter their search by creating filters on these columns accordingly depending on their research topic such as – pulling all records for China for Q4 2019 - then apply sorting on “VALUE” column based on imported measurements have become cheaper during given time frame etc.. Additionally formulas like SUMIFS() can also be used across multiple columns available within this agreement document at same time such as – total Imports Value from India & Japan combined during May 2019 till October 2020 – based upon bringing together Matching condition criteria met across few columns where needed at same time . As such this dataset provides flexible solutions which potentially allow us to explore patterns related either just single country's current trends -or- cross references since global side-by-side evaluation possible here featuring more than just one nation alone too ...........

The 2025 annual OPEC basket price stood at ***** U.S. dollars per barrel as of August. This would be lower than the 2024 average, which amounted to ***** U.S. dollars. The abbreviation OPEC stands for Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and includes Algeria, Angola, Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Gabon, Iraq, Iran, Kuwait, Libya, Nigeria, Saudi Arabia, Venezuela, and the United Arab Emirates. The aim of the OPEC is to coordinate the oil policies of its member states. It was founded in 1960 in Baghdad, Iraq. The OPEC Reference Basket The OPEC crude oil price is defined by the price of the so-called OPEC (Reference) basket. This basket is an average of prices of the various petroleum blends that are produced by the OPEC members. Some of these oil blends are, for example: Saharan Blend from Algeria, Basra Light from Iraq, Arab Light from Saudi Arabia, BCF 17 from Venezuela, et cetera. By increasing and decreasing its oil production, OPEC tries to keep the price between a given maxima and minima. Benchmark crude oil The OPEC basket is one of the most important benchmarks for crude oil prices worldwide. Other significant benchmarks are UK Brent, West Texas Intermediate (WTI), and Dubai Crude (Fateh). Because there are many types and grades of oil, such benchmarks are indispensable for referencing them on the global oil market. The 2025 fall in prices was the result of weakened demand outlooks exacerbated by extensive U.S. trade tariffs.

Trinidad and Tobago's fuel is subsidized. The prices have been steadily increasing since 2012 to help offset the subsidy as crude oil prices fluctuate. This is a dataset of the fuels that I have been actively tracking.

The Brent Crude Oil Price Market Sentiment – Sample Data dataset provides structured insights into the supply and demand narratives shaping global oil prices. Each entry captures event-driven sentiment with timestamps, directional signals (up/down), topic classification, and market context, allowing traders to track how fundamental developments impact Brent pricing. For the period 11–16 May 2025, key drivers include: Bullish sentiment from OPEC+ production cuts (-1.5m bpd), Libyan supply disruptions (-300k bpd), and rising Chinese demand (+15% YoY imports). Bearish sentiment from U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve releases (25m barrels) and Saudi Arabia’s planned production increase (+400k bpd). Exploration impact with the Sirari West X1 oil discovery boosting future supply narratives. By consolidating geopolitical, supply, and demand events, this dataset allows systematic and quantitative traders to backtest how narrative flows align with Brent price movements. It functions as a source of leading indicators, helping desks anticipate volatility, refine trading models, and adjust exposure to energy markets.

Context

Abstract of associated article: This paper contributes to the debate on the role of oil prices in predicting stock returns. The novelty of the paper is that it considers monthly time-series historical data that span over 150years (1859:10–2013:12) and applies a predictive regression model that accommodates three salient features of the data, namely, a persistent and endogenous oil price, and model heteroscedasticity. Three key findings are unraveled: first, oil price predicts US stock returns. Second, in-sample evidence is corroborated by out-sample evidence of predictability. Third, both positive and negative oil price changes are important predictors of US stock returns, with negative changes relatively more important. Our results are robust to the use of different estimators and choice of in-sample periods.

About the ProjectKAPSARC is analyzing the shifting dynamics of the global gas markets. Global gas markets have turned upside down during the past five years: North America has emerged as a large potential future LNG exporter while gas demand growth has been slowing down as natural gas gets squeezed between coal and renewables. While the coming years will witness the fastest LNG export capacity expansion ever seen, many questions are raised on the next generation of LNG supply, the impact of low oil and gas prices on supply and demand patterns and how pricing and contractual structure may be affected by both the arrival of U.S. LNG on global gas markets and the desire of Asian buyers for cheaper gas.Key PointsIn the past year, global gas prices have dropped significantly, albeit at unequal paces depending on the region. All else being equal, economists would suggest that this should have generated a positive demand response. However, “all else” was not equal. Prices of other commodities also declined while economic growth forecasts were downgraded. Prices at benchmark points such as the U.K. National Balancing Point (NBP), U.S. Henry Hub (HH) and Japan/Korea Marker (JKM) slumped due to lower oil prices, liquefied natural gas (LNG) oversupply and unseasonal weather. Yet, the prices of natural gas in local currencies have increased in a number of developing countries in Africa, the Middle East, Latin America, former Soviet Union (FSU) and Asia. North America experienced demand growth while gas in Europe and Asia faced rising competition from cheaper coal, renewables and, in some instances, nuclear. Gains to European demand were mostly weather related while increases in Africa and Latin America were not significant. For LNG, Europe became the market of last resort as Asian consumption declined. Moreover, an anticipated surge in LNG supply, brought on by several new projects, may lead to a confrontation with Russian or other pipeline gas suppliers to Europe. At the same time, Asian buyers are seeking concessions on pricing and flexibility in their long-term contracts. Looking ahead, natural gas has to prove itself a credible and affordable alternative to coal, notably in Asia, if the world is to reach its climate change targets. The future of the gas industry will also depend on oil prices, evolution of Chinese energy demand and impact of COP21 on national energy policies. Current low prices mean there is likely to be a pause in final investment decisions (FIDs) on LNG projects in the coming years.

The global food prices have surged to historical highs, and there is no consensus on the reasons behind this round of price increases in academia. Based on theoretical analysis, this study uses monthly data from January 2000 to May 2022 and machine learning models to examine the root causes of that period’s global food price surge and global food security situation. The results show that: Firstly, the increase in the supply of US dollars and the rise in oil prices during pandemic are the two most important variables affecting food prices. The unlimited quantitative easing monetary policy of the US dollar is the primary factor driving the global food price surge, and the alternating impact of oil prices and excessive US dollar liquidity are key features of the surge. Secondly, in the context of the global food shortage, the impact of food production reduction and demand growth expectations on food prices will further increase. Thirdly, attention should be paid to potential agricultural import supply chain risks arising from international uncertainty factors such as the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict. The Russian-Ukrainian conflict has profoundly impacted the global agricultural supply chain, and crude oil and fertilizers have gradually become the main driving force behind the rise in food prices.
