We’d been warning for months about the supply risks to oil prices, so Saturday's OPEC+ decision to add 410,000 barrels per day from June wasn't surprising in that sense.
Join our Commodities team for a briefing on where oil prices are now heading in this special Drop-In on Wednesday at 0800 ET/1300 BST. During this 20-minute session, the team will be introducing our new, below-consensus price forecasts as they answer your questions and address key issues, including:
The drivers of OPEC+ policy – from internal punishment to the recapture of market share;
The risks that weak oil prices pose to Gulf economies;
What’s at stake as Trump prepares to visit Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the UAE.
