Oil production opportunities decrease
The Ministry of Energy of Azerbaijan stated that OPEC and Russia and other allies will plan to hold a video conference on Monday (but later postponed it to this Thursday). Earlier, US President Trump had made clear that major oil-producing countries such as Saudi Arabia and Russia are about to cut production substantially. This increases the market’s longing for the oil group’s upcoming production cuts, stimulating a sharp rise in international oil prices. However, the market estimates that if the action fails to get US participation and cooperation, it may be more difficult for the parties to reach consensus in the short term. In addition, when the new crown epidemic situation is still unclear, the effect of reducing production on oil prices may be weakened.
