However, Saudi Arabian Energy Minister Prince Abdulaziz bin Salman said actual cuts in August and September would be around 8.1 million-8.3 million bpd, due to some countries compensating for earlier oversupplies.
OPEC+ acknowledged the localized or partial re-imposition of lockdowns in countries such as Australia. But the organization allayed fears of an oversupply, saying that extra supply from the cuts would be consumed as demand recovers.
The US Energy Information Administration (EIA) also predicted a 7.493 million-barrel draw on Wednesday. Analyst forecasts prepared by Investing.com predicted a 2.098 million-barrel draw.
Investors will be looking closely at the Joint Technical Committee and JMMC’s next meetings, scheduled for August 17 and 18 respectively.
