OIL
“OPEC+ may consider leaving its current oil output cuts in place from Jan. 1 at its next meeting on Sunday”, according to Azerbaijan's Energy Minister Parviz Shahbazov cited by Reuters.
- OPEC+ have provisional plans in place to bring back barrels from previous production cuts in January but the increase has already been delayed twice since October amid global demand concerns.
- OPEC+ is to hold the Dec. 1 ministerial meeting online, delegates said.
- Both OPEC and IEA have revised global demand forecasts for 2025 lower in recent months although OPEC expectations remain well above most other market analyst expectations.
- Front month Brent is trading in a similar price range as seen at the time of the previous delay announcements in late September and early November.
- Brent JAN 25 down 1.9% at 73.77$/bbl
- WTI JAN 25 down 2% at 69.81$/bbl
