All eyes on oil supply after Opec deal to boost output | Financial Times

All eyes on oil supply after Opec deal to boost output | Financial Times:

The prospect of an extra 1m barrels per day of oil hitting the market would normally be considered uniformly bearish for prices.

But part of the Saudi-led decision to raise production stems from the risk of less global supplies later this year.

Venezuela’s economic and political crisis has already cut the Opec member’s output by 700,000 b/d in the past 12 months, taking producer curbs well over their initial targets and helping to propel prices above $80 a barrel last month.
