Crude Oil: Rally Stalls Once Again

Crude oil WTI hit four-month highs on Thirst-day, aided by a tightening market and a better-than-expected U.S. jobs report. The caveat is that the jobs survey took place before the latest Covid-19 wave and the associated closures. Analysts still expect oil to face resistance to any further gains. “Gasoline has carried the load on recovery and demand, and it’s not clear whether that could continue into August and September,” Andrew Lebow, senior partner at Commodity Research Group, told Bloomberg. Oil prices retreated during midday trading on Friday.

OPEC+ is scheduled to ease production cuts beginning in August, and sources told Reuters that the group will likely refrain from an extension. Saudi Arabia also reportedly put pressure on Nigeria to increase its compliance. On Thursday, Russian energy minister Alexander Novak reiterated that position. “At present, there are no decisions to prepare any changes…Next, under the current agreements we should have a partial restoration of the volume of reductions starting August 1,” he said, according to TASS.
