Report summary
On 4 March, OPEC+ decided to take a cautious approach to demand recovery by leaving its production restraint for April, including the Saudi extra 1 million b/d cut. The only exception were increases for Russia and Kazakhstan. After the OPEC+ announcement, Brent climbed to just under $70 per barrel. The 7 March missile attack on Saudi Arabia’s oil facilities, while not harming facilities, highlights the upward price risk this spring and briefly lifted Brent to above $70. Highlights of our Macro Oils short-term outlook include: • How did the Texas freeze impact Q1 2021 supply and demand? • Revised outlook for Brent in 2021 and 2022 • Demand growth set to accelerate as vaccination continues • OECD crude stocks to return to pre-Covid-19 levels in H2 2021
