OPEC To Keep Oil Production Quota

 

Wednesday, December 12, 2012

 

OPEC maintains oil output quota of 28 million barrels per day, according to the predictions. This deal comes after some delegates showed satisfaction with the level of production and the share of oil supply and demand conditions in the world. "The current oil price was satisfactory for all parties," said Minister for Ecuador's petroleum, Wilson Pastor.

 

Nevertheless, OPEC does not provide clarity as to how the group can overcome the production levels past the quota. The petroleum Minister of Iran wants some OPEC members slashed production because there was a production in excess of the quota as many as 780,000 barrels per day. Iran wants OPEC members that production increase last year, to offset the decline in production of Libya as a result of the civil war, in order to trim its production. Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates has been to increase production last year to compensate for the decline in oil production. However, the United Arab Emirates petroleum Minister said unnecessary trimming production as the market needs more oil than the quotas that have been set.

 

Meanwhile, oil prices strengthened in the New York session. The Nymex oil is now traded $ 86.32, away from the low level of daily $ 85.67

Crude Oil in 2013: Brent boxed into price range of USD 90-125

Ole Hansen, Head of Commodity Strategy, Saxo Bank

 

Brent Crude oil has, despite times of elevated uncertainty, been trading within a relative stable trading range during the last couple of years, especially compared with previous years where extreme peaks and troughs appeared. Looking ahead to 2013, we believe that this range trading will continue, as Brent Crude is currently sandwiched between several equal important factors, the combined sum of which should keep the price boxed in between USD 90 and USD 125 during the next couple of years.

 

During these past two years Brent Crude Oil has become the global benchmark for a majority of physical oil transactions, and also increasingly the preferred crude oil commodity in investment portfolios. Just recently we have seen two of the world’s most followed commodity indices, the S&P GSCI and DJ-UBS, both announce another percentage point weight increase of Brent in their portfolio for 2013 at the expence of WTI Crude, which still carries the highest weight but is sharply reduced from previous years.

 

The major spikes in Brent Crude during 2010 and 2011 were primarily triggered by both major and minor fears of supply disruptions, especially the Libyan civil war in early 2011 and the announcement of Iran sanctions due to uncertainties over its nuclear intentions in early 2012. Minor disruptions to production in Sudan, Nigeria, Syria and the North Sea also helped to support the price.

 

Up against these fears of supply disruptions, the global economy has been bumping along at a relative slow pace, resulting in only a small increase in global demand for oil. At times worries about recession, now realised in Europe, and other regions of the world has helped offset the above mentioned supply worries, resulting in minor (and a few major) downside corrections.

 

As a result the average price of Brent Crude has remained almost unchanged for the past two years at 110.75 USD/barrel in 2011 and 111.70 USD/barrel so far in 2012 . Almost nine percent of all volume during the last two years has taken place between 110 and 111 while 54 percent of all traded volume has occurred within a narrow nine dollar range between 106 and 115.

 

The downside tail, as also seen below, is somewhat longer than the upside one. This can among other things be explained by the presence of speculative investors such as hedge funds and traders. Speculative traders react to market movements by either by adding or reducing exposure and the two peaks in oil price were both followed by one minor and a major sell-off as they were forced to reduce loss making positions . During such times of long liquidation we often find that the move gets extended much beyond what is warrented by the underlying fundamentals.

 

Now that we have determined two of the major drivers behind the price of oil, geopolitical concerns and speculative investment flows, let us take a look at some of the other reasons why we believe that the price of oil will remain range bound for the foreseeable future. Tomorrow we'll discuss 2 factors creating support for the price, and 3 major factors creating resistance.
