Report summary
The oil market reacted to the 30 November 2023 OPEC+ ministerial meeting with a decline in prices, as Brent slid to $80.58/bbl after the announcement. The producers agreed on a voluntary production cut of 2.2 million b/d for Q1 2024, but the market has little expectation for significant adherence to the agreement, mostly because the cuts are voluntary. Highlights of our Monthly Update include: • OPEC+ agreement to have an effect on price • Levels of OPEC+ adherence assumed for Q1 2024 • Surge in oil sands supply supports new production highs in Canada • Severe storms in Black Sea disrupt offshore loadings, impacting Kazakhstan output • Demand growth increasingly shifts towards petrochemicals but focus remains on China
