Crude Oil Price Firm Ahead of OPEC Meeting – Gold Silver Reports

The crude oil price gained 17 percent in the month of January and Russia- Ukraine tensions and started the month of February on a positive note.

The Organisation of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) meeting today is the major focus where the 23 nation alliance expected to announce 400,000 barrels per day of an addition in the month of March. The US crude inventory data also comes in today and the markets are anticipating bullish news from that as well and that’s the reason a spike is seen in the Asian markets yet again.

Not just crude, even gasoline is trading at a 7-year high. The heating oil and natural gas prices also are trading at a multi-year high. So the energy pack continues to do quite well. What has seen some profit-taking is the coal price; 5 percent of a decline overnight and this is after Indonesia lift the ban on coal exports.

Still, sources said an OPEC+ technical panel meeting on Tuesday did not discuss a hike of more than the expected 40,000 barrels per day from March.

OPEC undershot its promised output boost in January, a Reuters survey found, and other analysts expected the rally to persist.

“The Saudis will likely avoid any major adjustments as they have proven adept in recent years at treading a fine line in manoeuvring global pricing in their preferred direction,” said Jim Ritterbusch, president of Ritterbusch and Associates LLC in Galena, Illinois.

Brent crude settled down 10 cents, or 0.1%, at $$89.16 a barrel while U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude rose 5 cents to $88.20.

“The oil market is currently unreservedly bullish,” said Tamas Varga of oil broker PVM. “It is international tension, the perception of tight supply and the cold winter that are the most important factors behind the strength.”

Prices were under some pressure from expectations that this week’s U.S. supply reports will show an increase in crude stockpiles. Analysts expect stocks to have risen by 1.8 million barrels.

The first of this week’s two supply reports, from the American Petroleum Institute, is due out at 4:30 p.m..

Rising differentials in the physical crude market imply concern about tight supply, Varga said. One of the North Sea crudes that underpins Brent, Ekofisk, was bid on Monday at its highest in more than a decade.
