Oil End of Day Summary: Crude Set for Weekly Fall

OIL

WTI has rebounded today but remains down around 2.7% on the weak. Expectations of an OPEC+ output cut extension are weighing against potential Fed rate cut delays and sluggish demand.

  • US total rig count was stable on the week at 497, according to Baker Hughes.
  • OPEC+ will hold their June 2 meeting online rather than in person – a day later than originally planned.
