OPEC Sees Market for Its Crude Shrink Again as Rivals Recover - Bloomberg

OPEC Sees Market for Its Crude Shrink Again as Rivals Recover - Bloomberg:

OPEC trimmed estimates for the amount of crude it will need to pump in the coming year, days before ministers are due to assess the impact of supply curbs on world markets.

The Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries downgraded supply forecasts as its rival producers in the U.S. weather the impact of low prices, and as the resurgent pandemic continues to weigh on global demand.

The crude-producer group and its allies are due to hold a monitoring meeting on Monday to consider whether unprecedented output cuts they’ve made this year are managing to keep the global market in balance.

The coalition, led by Saudi Arabia and Russia, is set to relax the curbs at the start of next year and restore some more supplies, but delegates are growing increasingly concerned about whether markets can absorb additional barrels.
