Oil slips after OPEC+ agrees to hike output in September
SHARE

Oil prices took a slight dip in early Asian trading on Monday following the announcement by OPEC+ to increase production in September. Brent crude futures fell by 0.62% to $69.24 a barrel, while U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude dropped by 0.58% to $66.94 a barrel. This comes after both contracts closed approximately $2 lower per barrel on Friday.

OPEC+ members agreed on Sunday to raise oil production by 547,000 barrels per day for September, as part of a series of accelerated output hikes aimed at regaining market share. Concerns have been mounting over potential supply disruptions linked to Russia, prompting the decision for the production increase.

This move signifies a complete reversal of OPEC+’s previous output cuts, with an additional increase in output for the United Arab Emirates amounting to approximately 2.5 million barrels per day, equivalent to 2.4% of world demand. The decision was justified by OPEC+ citing a healthy economy and low stocks in a statement released after the meeting.

RBC Capital Markets analyst Helima Croft noted that the actual increases in production since April have been smaller than the headline number, primarily coming from Saudi Arabia and the UAE. The market has been able to absorb these additional barrels, with prices not straying far from pre-tariff Liberation Day levels.

The decision by OPEC+ to increase production reflects the confidence in the market’s ability to handle the additional supply. It will be interesting to see how this decision impacts oil prices and market dynamics in the coming months.
