activity
to fix the supply glut. Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Venezuela and non-OPEC producer
Russia said on February 16 they would freeze output.
In
an early sign that Moscow will stick to the plan, Russia reported on Wednesday
its oil output was little changed in February. Saudi Arabia has yet to report
its production, but a Reuters survey this week found no sign
of
an increase in February. Discussions among major oil producers, including Saudi
Arabia and Russian Federation, agreeing to a production freeze were unlikely to
reduce a global overhang in supply of more than
1-million
barrels a day, other analysts said. The fight OPEC has been putting up in an
effort to kill US shale oil has kept energy prices at historically low levels
for an extended period of time. "Until we get into the spring
and
see crude demand pick up, oversupply will be on the front burner for the
market".
OPEC
production has surged since the group in November 2014 abandoned its
traditional role of cutting supply alone to prop up prices, in the hope that
lower prices would curb the growth of more costly-to-develop
competing
supply sources.
JP Morgan said in an emailed note: “The
combination of suggestive OPEC/Russia rhetoric and aggressive
spending/production cuts from US shale players has helped sentiment enormously
over the last few weeks.”
However, we see the price action to be
rather speculative, with no guarantees from members of the Organization of
Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) and others, to reach a consensus on
cutting production
rates to support prices.
OPEC is scheduled to meet officially in
June this year; reports of a mid-March meeting between four producers have
increased hopes of the organization finally considering cutting production. A Reuters report today
pointed
out the likelihood of the organization agreeing to cut production to
drastically low levels.
