Despite three production cuts announced by the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) and its allies since October, including support from the Saudis, crude prices have shown limited improvement. This is unexpected, particularly during a time of the year when oil demand should naturally be strong due to summer travel.
The Saudis have expressed their desire to see oil prices reach $80 per barrel or higher by next month, or at least by August. However, external factors beyond their control, namely the decisions made by central banks worldwide, call for patience. From the Federal Reserve to the Bank of England, the European Central Bank, and even the Bank of Canada, there is a race to implement one or two interest rate hikes before the end of the year. Any rate cuts could potentially hinder global growth, which serves as the driving force behind oil demand.
The crucial question now is whether the bullish sentiment will prevail as global travel rates are expected to increase in July and August. This surge in travel could lead to a critical shortage of crude oil required by U.S. refineries, especially as the Saudis intentionally reduce their oil supply to that particular destination more than others. Additionally, unless extended, the weekly sales of crude from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve will cease, eliminating one of the tools the Biden administration has utilized to keep prices low.
