Oil has risen so far this week in anticipation of the largest output cut by Opec+ since the depths of the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020, said Fiona Cincotta, senior financial markets analyst at City Index. “Opec+ has a fine balance to walk in the scale of output cuts likely to be announced today. Close the taps too much and prices will soar at the cost of demand destruction. Cut too little and the sell-off will hamper Opec+ revenue,” said Ehsan Khoman, MUFG’s head of emerging markets research.
