Report summary
Brent recovered during July, averaging $80.10/bbl, slightly higher than our July forecast of $77.00/bbl. Our forecast for a tighter outlook in H2 2023 is increasingly reflected in the price. Extra support has been provided by Saudi Arabia announcing on 3 August that it will extend its current 1 million b/d production cut for July and August into September. Russia followed up that it would continue with its additional cut in September also. Key highlights this month focus on: • Outlook for oil demand remains steady despite weakening global manufacturing • Saudi Arabia and Russia’s additional voluntary cuts for September • Libya presents a key downside supply risk; potential for 90% of oil production to be shut-in • Outlook for price in tighter H2 2023
