Macro Oils short-term outlook: April 2021
Report summary
At its recent meeting, OPEC+ went with a phased increase in production from May to July this year. The decision matches our expectations. It also reduces the risk of a sharp spike upward in oil prices the next several months. Highlights in the Macro Oils short-term outlook include: • Impact of new lockdown restrictions on our demand view • US Lower 48: higher prices support supply upside in 2022 • How will Bakken producers be affected if the Dakota Access pipeline is shuttered? • What's driving the differential forecasts for WTI, Dubai and Maya
