OIL: Crude Rallies on OPEC+ Deal to Delay Supply Hike for Two Months

OIL

Crude initially rallies before pulling back on reports that OPEC+ has agreed to delay the planned oil production hike for two months, according to delegates cited by both Reuters and Bloomberg.

  • Prices initially spiked higher although remained below the highs from yesterday with the delayed widely expected after headlines from recent days.
  • The delay is likely driven by the risk of a market oversupply with the possible return of Libya supply and soft demand in China.
  • Both futures and time spreads remain net down on the week.
