# Commodities Outlook: A little less fundamental, a little more action | reports | ING THINK

> ING's commodities outlook says 2020 price direction will hinge on US-China trade talks, with prices likely to whipsaw until clarity emerges. Oil faces pressure from slowing trade and lower demand growth estimates, even after OPEC+ deepened cuts for the first quarter of 2020. ING expects OPEC+ will need further action for the second quarter.
