Rise of Oil Prices: OPEC Cuts and Market Impact
The recent rise in oil prices, reaching $90 per barrel, can be attributed to Saudi Arabia's surprise extension of voluntary cuts in oil supply, beyond the market's expectations. Coordinated with the Russian cuts, these measures aim to lift oil prices and ensure higher prices in the long term. With a deficit of 2.7 million barrels a day already in the third quarter, the market is expected to remain in a deep deficit through the first half of 2024. Oil price forecasts have been adjusted to $90 for the final quarter of this year, with an average of $84 in 2023.
