Opec+ delays 3-6 months17 Nov 2020 12:17
We will have more of a confirmation on Opec+ plans by early December.
However, the main market Asia has recovered (with fewer planes) and why global storage figures for Q3 started to fall rapidly.
I think most of the market is focused on US storage figures but they are still coming down because oil traders are trying to fill the floating storage in China which is now empty.
Even onshore inventories for oil in China are falling because demand for Chinese oil refinery processing hit a record last month (after the previous record set in June).
You have analysts suggesting oil imports will slacken in China Q4 but the evidence is they need to fill their oil storage tanks.
Also Indian, South Korean, Malaysian demand is normalising to pre covid 19 levels and why i believe Asia and China in particular will pick up the USA/European slack in demand for Q4.
Going into Q1 next year if Opec+ delay we will see normal storage but oil demand will still outweigh supply because no one is going to stop the Asian market growing oil demand 3% a year.
This and European lockdowns gradually undoing and there is going to be a shortage of certain types of oil.
We already see this in Urals oil but Q1 will add premium oil prices to many oil types and why price action in oil could boom.
