Output Increase Unless Oil Prices Exceed US$70/Barrel, S&P Global Commodity Insights Says : The Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and allied producers' latest postponement of their planned output increases signals the group won't boost production unless prices are well above US$70 per barrel, S&P Global Commodity Insights said in a Thursday note.
OPEC+ output cuts amounting to 2 million barrels per day (b/d) were due to end in December 2025, but were extended to the end of 2026. The group deferred the initial wave of output cuts to April 1, 2025.
The current Commodity Insights price outlook expects prices through 2026 to average $60-$75/b, which is not high enough for OPEC+ to boost output. However, prices above US$80/b raises the chance of an output hike, Commodity Insights said.
"OPEC+ member countries would like to start increasing oil production without negatively impacting prices. They cannot do that just yet," said Bhushan Bahree, executive director at Commodity Insights.
Formal OPEC+ increases are unlikely through 2025, Commodity Insights said, adding that the need for more OPEC+ oil on a durable basis in the near future is not immediately evident.

"The greatest lessons come at the cost of suffering. Pain is not an enemy; it is through this understanding that a man learns to endure and keep moving forward. Pain, for sure, is loyal."
-K.
I believe that suffering is the crucible in which the deepest lessons are forged. Pain, often seen as an adversary, is in fact a loyal teacher, showing us the resilience we never knew we had. It is through this painful understanding that a man learns to endure, grow, and press forward, no matter the obstacles. Pain may be harsh, but it is steadfast in its lessons, and it is only by embracing it that we find our true strength.

Oil Prices Edge Higher on China Stimulus Hopes — Market Talk Crude prices edge higher in early European trade but continue to trade in a tight range amid hopes of a recovery in Chinese demand and a Bloomberg report saying that the U.S. is mulling harsher sanctions against Russia's oil trade. Brent is up 0.4% at $72.51 a barrel, while WTI rises 0.5% to $68.93 a barrel. China's pledge to adopt a moderately loose monetary policy to stimulate economic growth sent a positive signal to the market, with investors now waiting to see more concrete details. Meanwhile, the China National Petroleum Corporation released a report stating that China's oil demand might peak in 2025, five years earlier than expected. Focus is now on monthly reports from OPEC and the IEA on Wednesday and Thursday, respectively, and the Federal Reserve's interest-rate decision next week.
