OPEC+ and the Challenge of Stabilizing Oil Prices

U.S. Signs Order to Implement Partial Tariff Reductions on UK Imports

The Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and its allies (OPEC+) faced a setback last week when they announced voluntary cuts by several producers but did not agree on a group-wide supply reduction for the first quarter of 2024. This decision was made when oil demand is typically at its lowest. Despite this, OPEC+ members, especially Saudi Arabia and Russia, reassured the market that they are prepared to extend or deepen the cuts if necessary.

The recent OPEC+ meeting did not significantly impact oil prices, which continued to decline due to factors like increasing U.S. inventories, concerns over the Chinese economy, and weakening global oil demand growth. The market is currently more focused on demand rather than supply.

Saudi Arabia’s Energy Minister, Prince Abdulaziz bin Salman, stated that the OPEC+ production cuts could extend beyond March 2024 if the market conditions require it. He also clarified misunderstandings about the output deal, emphasizing its potential to offset the typical inventory build in the first quarter. Russia’s Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak echoed these sentiments, indicating readiness for additional measures to stabilize the market.

Despite these assurances, the OPEC+ meeting revealed deep-seated disagreements within the group, making a unanimous decision for next year challenging.

The key to oil prices in the upcoming year will heavily depend on OPEC+’s strategies. ING’s Head of Commodities Strategy, Warren Patterson, noted that the market’s outlook hinges on OPEC+ policy. The cuts announced last week are expected to balance the market for the first half of 2024. However, various factors, including U.S. crude oil production and concerns about the Chinese economy, are influencing oil prices negatively.

Currently, U.S. crude oil production is at a record high, posing a significant challenge for OPEC+ in its efforts to maintain price stability. The U.S. production, growing at a faster pace than anticipated, is led by record-breaking output despite a static or declining rig count.

Global demand is also a bearish factor for oil prices, particularly in early 2024. Concerns about the economic health of the world’s two largest economies, the U.S. and China, are dominating market sentiment. Moody’s recent negative outlook on China’s government credit ratings, due to financial strains and lower medium-term economic growth, adds to these concerns.

The extent to which the U.S. and its allies enforce sanctions on oil exports from Russia and Iran will also impact oil prices next year.

OPEC+ faces a complex task in managing the oil market in 2024, with numerous variables, including rising U.S. and non-OPEC+ production, posing fresh challenges to their market share.
