Macro Oils short-term outlook: October 2019
Report summary
The 14 September attack on Saudi Arabia’s Abqaiq and Khurais oil facilities took nearly 6 million b/d of oil production out of the market. Despite that, Saudi Arabia met its commitments to term customers. Production capacity was restored to 11.3 million b/d by early October, as confirmed by the new Energy Minister Prince Abdul Aziz. For the market, the prompt restoration of supply was reassuring, and prices quickly fell back to pre-attack levels. That was followed by a further drop to the high $50s for Brent as October started. What lies ahead for prices? In this Monthly Update, we extend our supply, demand and quarterly price forecast through 2021. Highlights of the report include: -Saudi production recovery -Global recession risk to demand -Slowing US supply growth -Sharp fall in 2019 OPEC production
