Crude oil prices top $42 as Opec+ laggards pledge better compliance

-

LONDON: Brent oil rose to above $42 a barrel on Friday, adding to gains in the previous session, after Opec producers and allies promised to meet supply cuts and on signs of demand, hit by the coronavirus crisis, recovering.


Iraq and Kazakhstan, during a meeting of an Opec+ panel on Thursday pledged to comply better with oil cuts, sources said. This means curbs by the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries and allies, known as Opec+, could deepen in July.


There is enthusiasm in the market that oil supply is still under control," said Paola Rodriguez Masiu, an analyst at Rystad Energy. "A positive Opec+ meeting does that and yesterday's session helped renew confidence."

Brent crude was up $1.00, or 2.4 percent, at $42.51 by 1332 GMT after hitting $42.89, its highest since June 8. US West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude climbed $1.32, or 3.4 percent, to $40.16.


"The key takeaway is that Opec+ compliance will improve in the coming months," said Stephen Brennock of broker PVM.

Both contracts rose about 2 percent on Thursday and are heading for weekly gains of more than 9 percent.

Brent has more than doubled since hitting a 21-year low in April, helped by record Opec+ supply cuts of 9.7 million barrels per day (BPD), or 10 percent of world demand and an easing of government lockdowns imposed to control the coronavirus.

Fuel demand in Europe is staging a gradual recovery after the height of the lockdowns in April but remains well below normal, data from several countries shows.

In a further sign of market recovery, Brent on Thursday moved into backwardation, where oil for immediate delivery costs more than supply later, for the first time since March. <LCOc1-LCOc2>


A premium for oil for immediate delivery usually indicates a tightening supply and encourages storage to be drawn down.

US crude stocks hit another record this week, but fuel inventories fell.

How much Chinese money is there in Indian economy ?

-
Chinese stake in the Indian economy is growing through investments, particularly in the technology sector. Indian export to China has outpaced imports but trade imbalance is still huge. An analysis of how deep Chinese money has penetrated in India. following the bloodiest clash with China in 45 years, reports suggest that the government would retaliate not only along the Line of Control (LAC) but also in the field of economy. The border question is complex, but the economic one is even more complicated. Since the 2008 global meltdown, China has seen a sharp rise in its economic prowess helped by a corresponding decline in the US's money power largely on account of its engagement in counter-terror-cum-geostrategic wars in the Middle East and AfPak regions. Almost every country of the world has deepened its engagement with China in recent years. Being a major emerging global power, India too has done the same. Chinese investments in a country come through direct, routed, and corporat...
