International Energy Agency's Birol out on Bloomberg

  • no sign of quick resolution in Saudi-Iran tensions
  • slowing China minimizes predictability for energy markets
  • crude investments fell 20% in 2015, same seen for 2016
  • investment drop may cause supply issue when growth rises
  • Iran sanctions removal puts downward pressure on crude
  • crude prices may start rising last 2016 or early 2017

Birol rightly cautious on oil price and affecting factors

Brent crude currently $33.11 off session highs of $33.36 from Asian lows of $32.44

WTI $32.71 from $32.94 after lows of $32.24
