Market Realist•4 days agoOil Bulls: OPEC Might Have a Rescue Plan
As of November 12, US crude oil prices have fallen 27.1% from the multiyear closing high of $76.41 per barrel on October 3. Oversupply concerns have led the decline in oil prices. Based on a Reuters report, OPEC members and non-OPEC oil producers might develop a plan to reduce their oil output by up to 1.4 MMbpd (million barrels per day) in 2019. In the oil market report on November 14, the International Energy Agency expects global oil demand growth to rise by 1.3 MMbpd and 1.4 MMbpd in 2018 and 2019, respectively. A production cut of that magnitude might limit oil’s fall.
