Report summary
With little change to our supply outlook and high levels of political uncertainty, we have made minimal changes to our price outlook. The outcome to the stand off in Venezuela remains unclear amid emerging signs of a potential prolonged resolution as the bite of sanctions takes effect. Even as sanctions reduce Venezuela and Iran’s production, other producers in OPEC have sharpened their production restraint to cut into potential oversupply for 2019.
