And the International Energy Agency (IEA) poured more of the slippery stuff onto the flames, asserting that demand for oil is about to peak before falling off. But while the IEA would celebrate a shift toward renewable energy instead of fossil fuels, OPEC \u2013&nbsp;representing economies that fully rely on oil \u2013&nbsp;isn\u2019t quite on board.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why should I care?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>For markets:&nbsp;<\/em><\/strong><em>A slippery trade.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Oil investors will be used to this to-ing and fro-ing \u2013 and if they\u2019re not, they should be. The elixir\u2019s famously volatile, and swinging highs and lows are nothing new. Most of the time, the price rallies just when everyone expects the opposite, and vice versa. Case in point: oil oracles were predicting $100-a-barrel price tags a few days ago, just before prices plunged. So if you\u2019re in it for the long haul, make sure you\u2019ve got steady nerves.<br><br><strong><em>The bigger picture:&nbsp;<\/em><\/strong><em>It ain\u2019t easy being green.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That tumultuous trend makes it hard to predict oil\u2019s future, both short and long-term. Even the industry\u2019s onlookers are torn. Some believe the electric vehicle transition has already signaled the beginning of the end, given that transport makes up the majority of oil demand. But others reckon savvy oil companies could keep supply tight in an effort to pull up prices and make as much money as possible while they can, maintaining dominance over the market until the greater energy transition comes along.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The world\u2019s energy organizations engaged in some\u00a0tough talking, with oil\u2019s future taking the
