Moody’s predicts oil prices at $80 a barrel by 2016: The price of a barrel of oil will top $100 by 2018 having bounced back to $80 by 2016, according to Moody’s Analytics. It is predicting that a combination of low oil prices and a lack of investment in production in the US energy sector will lead to a decrease in production and that the balance between supply and demand will subsequently shift in favour of the suppliers.
