Brent Crude (OIL) gains almost 2% today as Delegate informed that OPEC+ will postpone previously planned increasing production by 2 months. Now, markets can speculate that finally OPEC+ will stop the strategic plan, potentially leading to higher Brent prices. On the other hand, macro environment and weakening US dollar may limit potential for higher prices; also OPEC+ doesn't want a demand destruction scenario.

  • Oil rebounds today from multi-month lows, due to a possible delay to output increases by OPEC+ producers and a decline in U.S. inventories. The API report showed U.S. crude oil inventories fell by 7.431 million barrels last week, exceeding the 1 million barrel draw expected by markets. However, demand concerns persist, as Chinese economy is weakening and US activity data are mixed, potentially suggesting risk 
  • OPEC+ had been ready to proceed with an output increase of 180,000 barrels per day (bpd) in October. Now it will possibly start since December, as a part of strategic unwinding recent cuts of 2.2 million bpd. What's important, holding off production may be a signal, that the oil demand is weak, while rising it will put oil in a meaningful surplus from Q1 2025. Overall situation suggests that short-term prices rebound cannot be excluded, however trend reversal is not possible, without very significant geopolitical tensions. In the effect, potential oil sellers may become active faster, as futures rise.
