Brent oil prices found some support

24 thg 11, 2023

During early Friday trading, Brent oil prices found some support as investors continued to weigh the likelihood of additional production cuts from OPEC+ producers. The previous two sessions were marked by significant oscillations in the price of the barrel. There was an overall fall of almost 2%, as traders reacted to news of the postponement of a meeting of high-level representatives from OPEC+ member states, in which the main point on the agenda was agreeing on new production cuts. Nevertheless, the consensus amongst market participants remains tilted towards the high likelihood of additional output reductions, which could be announced at the end of the month. However, any upside for oil prices stays capped by the gloomy outlook for the Chinese economy and the strength of US oil inventories.
