Commodity rally won't last as fundamentals unchanged: analysts
They see full recovery in oil market only in H2 this year or next; current US$40 price proves to be sticky threshold

Supply and demand fundamentals in commodity markets have remained largely unchanged, they said, and a full recovery in the oil market would probably take place only in the second half of this year or next.
