Executive Summary
  • Brent crude is softening with a 4.1% pullback over 28 days—a modest bearish signal for African oil exporters relying on stable pricing.
  • No major geopolitical disruptions detected; weakness is structural, not shock-driven, suggesting cautious demand or inventory buildup globally.
  • Nigerian and Angolan producers should monitor this consolidation phase; sustained weakness below current support could pressure export revenues and local business cash flow.
