TOKYO: Oil prices recouped some losses on Monday, but were still down after OPEC+ overcame internal divisions and agreed to boost output, which sparked concerns about a crude surplus as COVID-19 infections continue to rise in many countries.
Brent crude was down 61 cents, or 0.8 percent, at $72.98 a barrel by 0617 GMT, after falling to $72.35 earlier in the session. US oil was down 66 cents, or 0.9 percent, at $71.15 a barrel, having slipped to $70.64 earlier.
OPEC+ ministers agreed on Sunday to increase oil supply from August to cool prices that earlier this month climbed to the highest in around 2-1/2 years as the global economy recovers from the COVID-19 pandemic.
The group, which includes members of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) and allies such as Russia, agreed new production shares from May 2022.
鈥淥il prices may continue to gyrate in the coming weeks,鈥� Goldman Sachs said after the agreement.
However, the US investment bank said it remained bullish on the outlook for oil and the agreement was in line with its view that producers 鈥渟hould focus on maintaining a tight physical market all the while guiding for higher future capacity and disincentivizing competing investments.鈥�
It said the OPEC+ deal represented $2 鈥渦pside鈥� to its summer forecast for Brent to reach $80 a barrel and $5 upside on its outlook for the international benchmark to average $75 a barrel next year.
To overcome internal divisions, OPEC+ agreed new production quotas for several members from May 2022, including the UAE, 抖阴短视频, Russia, Kuwait and Iraq.
鈥淭his agreement should give market participants comfort that the group is not headed for a messy breakup and will not be opening up the production floodgates anytime soon,鈥� RBC Capital Markets said in a note.
The group last year cut output by a record 10 million barrels per day (bpd) amid an evaporation in demand the pandemic developed, prompting a collapse in prices with US oil at one point falling into negative territory.
