Oil prices could easily surge back above $100 a barrel next year as already-tight supplies could be further challenged by an increase in Chinese consumption, according to Global X Management.

China may add a meaningful amount of demand for the commodity, helping boost prices to about $110, Rohan Reddy, director of research at Global X Management, said in a Bloomberg TV interviewBloomberg Terminal. OPEC’s reluctance in increasing production and a potentially more dovish Federal Reserve are also bullish drivers for oil, he said.
