$API

By Laura Sanicola and Muyu Xu (Reuters) -Oil edged lower on Wednesday ahead of a panel meeting of OPEC+ ministers, as the market weighed expectations of supply tightness against fears that high interest rates could reduce fuel demand. Brent crude oil futures dipped 6 cents to $90.86 a barrel by 0345 GMT, while U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude (WTI), fell 5 cents to $89.18 per barrel. Data on Tuesday night showed that U.S. job openings increased by the largest amount in more than two years, prompting a further sharp rise in Treasury yields. Along with fears that interest rates will stay high for some time, oil benchmarks also have been pressured by concerns that the strengthening dollar would dent demand, as it makes oil more expensive for holders of other currencies. "A resilient labour market is deemed to be providing more room for the Federal Reserve (Fed) to keep rates high for longer," said Yeap Jun Rong, market analyst at IG. The Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and allies, or OPEC+, is expected to keep output policy unchanged when it meets on Wednesday, after members Saudi Arabia and Russia extended output cuts to the end of the year. Saudi Arabia is expected to raise its November official selling price of Arab Light crude to Asia for a fifth straight month, according to a Reuters survey, as market participants expect supplies of medium sour crude to remain tight. "The recent oil price reversal could be a reason for the cartel to keep their supply cuts unchanged in today's review meeting," said ANZ Bank's analysts Brian Martin and Daniel Hynes in a note. Meanwhile, talks to restart Iraqi oil exports via a crude oil pipeline that runs through Turkey are still ongoing, an Iraqi oil official told Reuters, one day after Turkey said operations would start again this week following a near six-month stoppage. Russia is setting no time frame for a fuel export ban it introduced last month, and which will remain in place as long as necessary to stabilize prices and address shortages on the domestic market, Interfax cited Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak as saying. Investors are also closely watching supply and demand in the United States. Industry data showed crude stocks fell by about 4.2 million barrels in the week ended Sept. 29, according to market sources citing American Petroleum Institute figures on Tuesday. [API/S] U.S. government data on stockpiles is due on Wednesday. Eight analysts polled by Reuters estimated on average that crude inventories fell by about 500,000 barrels in the week to Sept. 29.

By Trixie Yap (Reuters) -Oil prices fell in early Asian trade on Thursday, after posting the largest fall in a month in the previous session, as U.S. interest rate hike expectations offset the impact of drawdowns in U.S. crude stockpiles. Brent futures for November delivery were down 71 cents, or 0.76%, to $92.82 a barrel by 0608 GMT. U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude (WTI) fell 70 cents, or 0.78%, to $88.96, the lowest since Sept. 14. "The Fed kept rates unchanged at yesterday's FOMC meeting, as widely expected. However, it was still seen as a hawkish pause, which put some pressure on risk assets" such as oil, said ING analysts in a client note. The U.S. Federal Reserve maintained interest rates after its Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting, but stiffened its hawkish stance with a rate increase projected by year-end which could dampen economic growth and overall fuel demand. Fed policymakers still see the bank's benchmark overnight rate range peaking this year at 5.50% to 5.75%, a quarter of a percentage point above the current range. The hawkish stance also led to the U.S. dollar surging to its highest since early March, placing downside pressure on oil prices. A stronger dollar typically makes commodities such as oil more expensive for buyers using other currencies. Energy markets reacted little to data from the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) on Wednesday showing crude inventories fell in line with expectations last week, with some analysts saying the decline was smaller than they expected. "EIA data showed U.S. stockpiles fell 2.14 million barrels last week, well short of the 5.25 million barrel drop reported by the American Petroleum Institute. The disappointing inventory drawdown gave impetus for traders to lock in profits following the 10% gain since the start of the month," ANZ analysts said in a note. [API/S] The stock draw was mainly driven by strong oil exports, while gasoline and diesel inventories were drawn down as refiners began annual autumn maintenance, the EIA said in a weekly report. [EIA/S] However, price falls were limited by continuous concern on tight supply globally entering the fourth quarter, with crude stocks at Cushing - the WTI delivery hub - at their lowest since July 2022 and production cuts continuing by the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and allies, together called OPEC+. Some analysts still expect prices to remain supported in the near term. "A few more drawdowns could revive talks of tanks reaching their operational minimum ... With the production cuts by Saudi Arabia and the broader OPEC+ alliance expected to remain for the rest of the year, inventories will likely touch record lows," said ANZ analysts. "Our balance shows a deficit of more than 2 million barrels per day through the fourth quarter of this year," said ING analyst Warren Patterson. "This tightness, along with strong refinery margins (largely a result of tightness in middle distillates) suggests that oil prices are likely to see further strength in the short term," he said.

By Shadia Nasralla LONDON (Reuters) -Oil prices slipped on Tuesday ahead of data shedding light on U.S. appetite for fuel during the summer driving season, with the Brent benchmark's price structure indicating bulls are retreating. By 1349 GMT Brent crude futures were down 74 cents, or 1%, at $73.44 a barrel. U.S. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) futures fell 74 cents, or 1.1%, to $68.63. Both benchmarks had earlier retreated by more than $1. Both contracts are trading broadly in the middle of a $10 range traced since early May. Oanda analyst Craig Erlam said prices were mainly at the mercy of "the ever-changing expectations for interest rates". European Central Bank President Christine Lagarde on Tuesday said that stubbornly high inflation will require the bank to avoid declaring an end to rate hikes. Higher interest rates can weigh on economic activity and oil demand. European equities were also down. [MKTS/GLOB] U.S. inventory data from the American Petroleum Institute industry group is expected after 2000 GMT, followed by government data on Wednesday.[API/S] A Reuters poll indicated that U.S. inventories probably fell in the week to June 23. [EIA/S] Brent's six-month backwardation - a price structure whereby sooner-loading contracts trade above later-loading ones - is at its lowest since December and barely positive, indicating shrinking concern about supply crunches. For the two-month spread, the market is in shallow contango, the opposite price structure, indicating that traders are factoring in a slightly oversupplied market. The market, meanwhile, has shrugged off the aborted mutiny by mercenary group Wagner in Russia at the weekend, with Russian oil loadings having remained on schedule. "The latest geopolitical flare-up quickly pales into insignificance compared to persistent macroeconomic considerations," said PVM's Tamas Varga. This is the case despite Saudi Arabia's pledge to reduce output from July. Much depends on whether Chinese oil demand picks up in the second half, with Premier Li Qiang saying that China will take steps to invigorate markets but providing details.

**Crude Oil: cuts, a hesitant demand and backwardation** We had already talked about it, but it’s back in the news: IEA (International Energy Agency) Executive Director Fatih Birol expressed his worries about global oil demand on Bloomberg TV yesterday, as of the 2 million bpd growth expected in 2023, at least 60% is expected to come from China, whose growth seems to be much less bright than previously expected. Only the night before, API (American Petroleum Institute) data had shown a huge increase in Gasoline and Distillates in general in US stocks (+2.417mm from 02/23 and +4.5mm from 12/22 respectively), a clear sign that processed products are momentarily oversupplied. https://analysis.hfeu.com/en-eu/700213/

By Arathy Somasekhar and Andrew Hayley BEIJING (Reuters) -Oil prices rose on Thursday, reversing earlier losses, as a potential pause in U.S. interest rate hikes and the debt ceiling bill passing a crucial vote renewed optimism about further fuel demand growth in the world's biggest oil consumer. Brent crude futures for August rose 32 cents, or 0.44% to $72.92 a barrel by 0518 GMT, while U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude (WTI) rose 25 cents, or 0.37%, to $68.34 a barrel. U.S. Federal Reserve officials on Wednesday pointed towards a potential rate hike "skip" in June that reversed market expectations of an imminent hike that could slow economic growth and weaken oil demand. Additionally, the U.S. House of Representative's passage of a bill suspending the U.S. government's $31.4 trillion debt ceiling improved the chances of averting a disastrous government default. Both benchmarks had fallen steeply in the previous sessions, with Brent down 5.6% and WTI dropping 6.3% as of the close on Wednesday, from last Friday. "Oil markets may have been oversold in the last two trading days due to the sluggish Chinese data and debt ceiling concerns. Sentiment rebounded amid the debt bill’s passage in the House, and (the) Fed’s rate hike pause signal also offered a rebounding opportunity," said Tina Teng, a markets analyst at CMC Markets in Auckland. Demand indications from China, the world's biggest oil importer, are somewhat mixed this week. Official government data on Wednesday reported factory activity contracted in May to the lowest in five months, while service sector activity expanded at the slowest pace in four months. However, the Caixin/S&P Global China manufacturing purchasing managers' index (PMI) on Thursday showed a rise to 50.9 in May from 49.5 in April, tempering concerns about Chinese industrial demand. Prices are also struggling to overcome bearish supply side factors. {{8849|U.S. crcrude oil inventories rose by about 5.2 million barrels last week, according to market sources citing American Petroleum Institute (API) figures on Wednesday. Gasoline inventories also posted a build of about 1.9 million barrels last week, while distillate fuel inventories gained by 1.8 million barrels, according to the API data. Market participants are awaiting government data on U.S. crude stocks due later on Thursday. The data was delayed by a day because of a U.S. holiday earlier this week. [EIA/S] Investors were also watching the upcoming June 4 meeting of OPEC+, the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) and allies including Russia, after mixed signals so far on whether further cuts are likely. Analysts at HSBC and Goldman Sachs (NYSE:GS) have said they do not expect OPEC+ to announce further cuts at this meeting.

By Shadia Nasralla and Rowena Edwards LONDON (Reuters) -Oil prices rose on Wednesday, driven up by tightening U.S. inventories and a warning from the Saudi energy minister that raised the prospect of further OPEC+ production cuts. Brent crude futures rose $1.39, or 1.81%, to $78.23 a barrel by 1333 GMT while U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude (WTI) gained $1.44, or 1.98%, to $74.35. Saudi Arabia's energy minister said short-sellers - those betting that prices will fall - should "watch out" for pain. Some investors took that as a signal that the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) and allies including Russia, a group known as OPEC+, could consider further output cuts at a meeting on June 4. "Oil prices are trading higher ... buoyed by the latest short-seller warning from Saudi Arabia," said OANDA senior market analyst Craig Erlam. "(But) if past experience is anything to go by, traders may be tempted to call his bluff." Also boosting oil prices was industry data showing that U.S. crude oil and fuel inventories fell sharply. [API/S] Crude inventories fell by about 6.8 million barrels last week, according to market sources citing American Petroleum Institute (API) figures. Gasoline inventories dropped by about 6.4 million barrels. [API/S] If data from the Energy Information Administration (EIA), due on Wednesday, confirm these figures, U.S. gasoline inventories would have declined for a third consecutive week to their lowest pre-Memorial Day levels since 2014. The Memorial Day holiday in the United States, this year on May 29, traditionally marks the beginning of the peak summer travel season in the United States and higher fuel demand. Weighing on broader markets, another round of debt ceiling talks ended on Tuesday with no signs of progress as the deadline to raise the government's borrowing limit or risk default ticked closer. [MKTS/GLOB] Negotiators for Democratic President Joe Biden and Republican Speaker Kevin McCarthy were expected to reconvene on Wednesday morning, a source familiar with the matter said. Price rises were also capped by news that Britain's stubbornly high inflation rate fell by less than expected last month, according to official data that raised the chances of more interest rate hikes.

By Noah Browning LONDON (Reuters) -Oil prices fell on Wednesday, ending a three-day rally as an unexpected rise in U.S. oil inventories sparked demand concerns and investors waited for inflation data for a steer on U.S. interest rates. Brent crude dropped 64 cents, or 0.8%, to $76.80 a barrel by 1220 GMT while U.S. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude fell 60 cents, or 0.8%, to $73.11. In a possible sign of weakening demand, U.S. crude inventories rose by about 3.6 million barrels in the week ended May 5 while gasoline stockpiles rose by 399,000 barrels, the American Petroleum Institute was reported as saying by market sources on Tuesday. The data defied expectations from eight analysts polled by Reuters for a drawdown of 900,000 barrels of crude and a 1.2 million barrel drop in gasoline stocks. U.S. government data on oil inventories is due on Wednesday. [API/S] [EIA/S] The surprising U.S. inventory build along with lower crude imports and April's softer export growth in China exacerbated worries about global oil demand. The market is awaiting U.S. consumer price index (CPI) figures for April on Wednesday. New York Fed President John Williams said inflation remains too high and the central bank will raise rates again if necessary, even though the Federal Reserve dropped guidance about the need for future hikes. The market is also awaiting the monthly oil report from the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) on Thursday for clues on whether the group and its allies will need to cut output again to prop up prices. OPEC and its allies, together known as OPEC+, agreed last month to cut production by 1.16 million barrels per day (bpd) from May through to the end of the year and is due to hold another policy meeting on June 4. "Traders are not of the view that OPEC+ output cuts fully offset the difficulties that lie ahead for the global economy," said Craig Erlam, senior market analyst at OANDA. "Further action by (OPEC+) or calmer conditions in U.S. banks could see oil prices bounce back once more." Meanwhile, markets were monitoring U.S. President Joe Biden and top Republican lawmakers' comments on raising the $31.4 trillion U.S. debt ceiling, fearing an unprecedented default if Congress does not act in the next three weeks.

By Ahmad Ghaddar LONDON (Reuters) -Oil prices slipped on Wednesday, extending sharp losses from the previous session, even after a report showed that U.S. inventories fell last week, as the market took stock of weak U.S. data that raised fears of recession in the world's biggest economy. Brent crude fell by $1.31, or 1.6%, to $79.46 a barrel by 1335 GMT, breaking below the $80 mark for the first time since March 31. U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude fell 99 cents, or 1.3%, to $76.08. Oil prices have erased all their gains since the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) and producer allies such as Russia, known collectively as OPEC+, announced in early April an additional output reduction until the end of the year. Russian Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak said on Wednesday that OPEC+ remains an efficient tool for coordination on global oil markets. Oil prices dived more than 2% on Tuesday amid lingering economic concerns and expectations of further interest rate hikes that could curtail fuel demand growth are countering signs of improving short-term consumption gains. U.S. consumer confidence dropped to a nine-month low in April as worries about the future mounted, heightening the risk of the economy falling into recession this year. "This (data) will add credence to claims that the U.S. economy is edging closer to a recession," said PVM Oil's Stephen Brennock. Investors also showed concern that potential interest rate hikes by inflation-fighting central banks could slow economic growth and dent energy demand in the United States, Britain and the European Union. The U.S. Federal Reserve, the Bank of England and the European Central Bank are all expected to raise rates at their coming meetings. The Fed meets over May 2-3. A report showing a fall in U.S. oil stocks limited losses, however, especially on WTI. U.S. crude oil stocks fell by about 6.1 million barrels in the week ended April 21, according to market sources citing American Petroleum Institute (API) figures on Tuesday. Analysts had expected crude inventories to fall by about 1.5 million barrels. Gasoline inventories fell by 1.9 million barrels last week while distillate inventories rose by 1.7 million barrels, the sources said. Official stockpiles data from the U.S. government is due on Wednesday. U.S. crude oil stockpiles have been falling since the middle of March as refineries have increased runs to produce more gasoline ahead of the peak summer demand period that starts in May. This has pushed WTI futures prices into backwardation, when prompt futures are higher than later-dated futures, reflecting the higher refinery demand.

By Laila Kearney and Muyu Xu (Reuters) -Oil dropped on Wednesday as the market weighed potential interest rate hikes from the U.S. Federal Reserve that could slow growth and dampen oil consumption, offsetting falling U.S. inventories and strong Chinese economic data. Brent crude futures shed 35 cents, or 0.4%, to $84.42 a barrel as at 0641 GMT. West Texas Intermediate U.S. crude fell 33 cents, also 0.4%, to $80.53 a barrel. The U.S. central bank likely has one more interest rate rise in store to fight inflation, Atlanta Fed President Raphael Bostic said on Tuesday. Markets are pricing in an 86% chance the Fed raises rates by 25 basis points at its May policy meeting. In Europe, European Central Bank officials are also wary of inflation and suggesting interest rates must keep rising. Oil prices received a lift from an industry report showing U.S. crude stocks fell about 2.68 million barrels in the week ended April 14, market participants citing American Petroleum Institute figures said on Tuesday. [API/S] Inventories of gasoline and distillate also fell last week, the people said. The official inventory report by the Energy Information Administration, the statistical arm of the U.S. Department of Energy, is due to be released at 1430 GMT on Wednesday. Meanwhile, the economy of top crude oil importer China grew by a faster-than-expected 4.5% in the first quarter, while the country's oil refinery throughput rose to record levels in March, data showed. "The market has been impatient on the impact China's reopening has had on demand. The fact that its economy is growing at its fastest pace in a year should bode well for demand in coming months," ANZ Research analysts Brian Martin and Daniel Hynes said in a client note. "However, this is being offset by weakness elsewhere," they said, referring to plunging refining margins for diesel and jet fuel that indicate global demand is softening. Distillates and gasoline cracks from Asia to Europe are weak amidst sluggish demand and increasing product supplies in the market. Adding more pressure on oil benchmarks is Asian refiners continuing to seize Russian crude in April. India and China have snapped up the vast majority of Russian oil so far in April at prices above the Western price cap of $60 per barrel, according to traders and Reuters calculations.

By Peter Nurse Investing.com - European stock markets are expected to open higher Tuesday as signs of confidence returning to the banking sector emerge ahead of the start of the latest Federal Reserve policy-setting meeting. At 03:00 ET (07:00 GMT), the DAX futures contract in Germany traded 1.1% higher, CAC 40 futures in France climbed 0.6% and the FTSE 100 futures contract in the U.K. rose 0.5%. Investors have taken some heart from the rescue of troubled lender Credit Suisse (SIX:CSGN) by its Swiss rival UBS (SIX:UBSG), with UBS’s shares closing trade on Monday higher after sharp early losses were pared by the end of the day. There remain concerns about the risk of shockwaves on smaller U.S. banks, as well as potential ructions in the bond markets after the losses imposed on Credit Suisse’s junior bondholders. Attention is now on this week's meeting of the Federal Reserve, with its two-day get-together starting later this session. The turmoil in the banking sector has created a degree of uncertainty over whether the U.S. central bank will continue to lift interest rates to fight elevated inflation. European Central Bank President Christine Lagarde implied on Monday that the current financial market disorder could mean that the central bank can stop hiking interest rates earlier than previously expected. "Clearly financial stability tensions might have an impact on demand and might actually do part of the work that would otherwise be done by monetary policy and interest rate hikes," Lagarde told European lawmakers. The ECB raised its benchmark interest rates by 50 basis points to 3% last week, and Lagarde reaffirmed that the inflation outlook alone would warrant more rate hikes. The main economic release due Tuesday will be Germany’s ZEW survey of economic sentiment for March, which is expected to show a drop to 17.1 from 28.1. In corporate news, RWE (ETR:RWEG) will be in the spotlight after Germany's largest utility announced plans to increase its dividend even as it expects operating profit to fall in 2023, citing lower margins at its gas-fired power plans. Oil prices fell Tuesday as market confidence remained frail after a week of turmoil in the banking sector and ahead of a Federal Reserve interest rate decision this week. The American Petroleum Institute is scheduled to release its estimate of U.S. crude inventories later in the session. They rose by just over 1 million barrels last week, resuming their climb after a one-week decline, The API numbers serve as a precursor to official inventory data on the same due from the U.S. Energy Information Administration on Wednesday. By 03:00 ET, U.S. crude futures traded 0.6% lower at $67.44 a barrel, while the Brent contract dropped 0.6% to $73.36. Additionally, gold futures fell 0.1% to $1,980.00/oz, while EUR/USD traded 0.1% lower at 1.0708.

By Shadia Nasralla LONDON (Reuters) -Oil prices firmed on Thursday after Brent crude posted its biggest one-day loss for seven weeks in the previous session, with gains on Russian supply curbs capped by an expected rise in U.S. inventories. Brent crude futures rose 84 cents, or 1%, to $81.44 a barrel by 1248 GMT, compared with about $98 a barrel on the eve of Russia's invasion of Ukraine a year ago. West Texas Intermediate crude futures (WTI) advanced 80 cents, or 1.1%, to $74.75 after six sessions of losses. Lending support to prices, Russia plans to cut oil exports from its western ports by up to 25% in March, exceeding its announced production cuts of 500,000 barrels per day. Both oil benchmarks lost more than $2 in the previous session on expectations of further increases to interest rates. Minutes from the latest U.S. Federal Reserve meeting on Wednesday showed that a majority of Fed officials agreed that the risks of high inflation warranted further rate hikes. The policymakers also suggested that a shift to smaller increases would let them calibrate more closely with incoming data. The dollar, meanwhile, has strengthened against a basket of other currencies in recent weeks, making oil more expensive for holders of other currencies. Oil price gains were also kept in check by signs of further crude inventory builds. U.S. crude oil and fuel inventories rose by 9.9 million barrels last week, according to market sources citing American Petroleum Institute figures. U.S. oil inventories have climbed every week since mid-December, stoking worries about demand. [API/S] A Reuters poll had forecast a 2.1 million barrel increase in crude stockpiles last week. Official data from the U.S. Energy Information Administration is due at 1600 GMT. While a stronger dollar remains a near-term headwind for crude, we expect lower Russian production and China's reopening to tighten the oil market and support prices, UBS analysts said.

By Laura Sanicola and Muyu Xu (Reuters) -Oil edged up on Thursday after Brent crude posted its biggest single-day loss in seven weeks the day before, as market players reassess positions after the U.S. Federal Reserve stoked worries about the economy by suggesting further rate hikes ahead. Brent crude futures rose 37 cents, or 0.5%, to $80.97 per barrel by 0533 GMT. West Texas Intermediate crude futures (WTI) advanced 32 cents, or 0.4%, to $74.27 a barrel. Both benchmarks lost more than $2 in the previous trading day on expectations of more aggressive interest rate increases. Minutes from the latest U.S. Federal Reserve meeting on Wednesday showed that a majority of Fed officials agreed the risks of high inflation remained a key factor shaping monetary policy and warranted continued rate hikes until it was controlled. The policymakers also suggested that a shift to smaller hikes would let them calibrate more closely with incoming data. Investors are recalibrating the energy market, weighing the prospects for China's reviving demand and tepid consumption in the U.S. and other advanced economies, analysts from Haitong Futures said. Lending some support to oil prices, Russia plans to cut oil exports from its western ports by up to 25% in March versus February, exceeding its announced production cuts of 500,000 barrels per day. The dollar index inched down by 0.1% to 104.39 on Thursday, making oil slightly cheaper for those holding other currencies. But oil's price gains were limited by signs of further crude inventory builds. U.S. crude oil and fuel inventories rose by 9.9 million barrels last week, according to market sources citing American Petroleum Institute figures on Wednesday. U.S. oil inventories have climbed every week since mid-December, stoking investor worries about demand. [API/S] A Reuters poll had forecast a 2.1 million barrel increase in crude stockpiles last week. Official data from the U.S. Energy Information Administration is due on Thursday at 1600 GMT.

By Alex Lawler LONDON (Reuters) - Oil prices dropped for a second day on Wednesday on signs of ample U.S. supplies and expectations of further interest rate hikes, though forecasts of higher 2023 demand growth and a potentially tighter market limited losses. U.S. crude stocks rose by a more than forecast 10.5 million barrels, according to market sources citing American Petroleum Institute (API) figures ahead of official Energy Information Administration (EIA) data at 1530 GMT. "Simply put, the U.S. is swimming in oil," said Stephen Brennock of oil broker PVM. Brent crude futures fell 59 cents, or 0.7%, to $84.99 a barrel by 1432 GMT after dropping by more than $1 in earlier trading. U.S. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude slipped 64 cents, or 0.8%, to $78.42. U.S. inflation data and remarks by central bank officials that have been perceived as indications that interest rates will go higher for longer also weighed on the market. Federal Reserve officials on Tuesday said that the U.S. central bank will need to maintain gradual increases to interest rates to beat inflation and suggested that price pressures driven by a hot jobs market could push borrowing costs higher than previously expected. Also applying downward pressure on crude was the announcement this week that the United States would sell 26 million barrels of oil from the nation's strategic reserve, which is already at its lowest level in about four decades. Lending some support was Wednesday's report from the International Energy Agency (IEA), which raised its forecast for 2023 oil demand growth and said that restrained OPEC+ production could bring a supply deficit in the second half. The IEA said that about 1 million barrels per day (bpd) of production from OPEC+ member Russia will be shut in by the end of the first quarter, citing a European ban on seaborne imports and a G7 price cap over the invasion of Ukraine. On Tuesday the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) also raised its projection for global oil demand growth and pointed to a tighter market in 2023.

By Emily Chow KUALA LUMPUR (Reuters) -Oil futures fell by nearly $1 on Thursday, extending losses from the previous day, as a surprise jump in U.S. crude stocks weighed on the market along with fears of a recession that were heightened by disappointing U.S. retail sales and output data. Brent crude futures were last down 84 cents, or 1%, to $84.14 a barrel at 0710 GMT, after earlier easing to $83.76. U.S. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude futures also declined 91 cents, or 1.1%, to $78.57 a barrel. It earlier fell to a low of $78.13. "The deterioration in U.S. economic data darkened the (oil) demand outlook as recession fears mount again. Risk-off sentiment has sent growth-sensitive commodities down," said Tina Teng, an analyst at CMC Markets, adding that profit-taking could have played a part also. U.S. December retail sales fell by the most in a year, while manufacturing output recorded its biggest drop in nearly two years, as higher borrowing costs hurt demand for goods. Still, Federal Reserve officials said interest rates needed to rise beyond 5% even as inflation shows signs of having peaked and economic activity is slowing. "This raised the spectre of a recession, with risk appetite suffering as a consequence," ANZ Research analysts said in a client note. Adding to the pall, data from the American Petroleum Institute showed U.S. crude oil inventories rose by about 7.6 million barrels in the week ended Jan. 13, according to market sources. The mean average forecast from a Reuters' poll of nine analysts had been for a fall of about 600,000 barrels. The big build marked the second consecutive week of large inventory increases. However, distillate stockpiles, which include diesel and heating oil, fell by about 1.8 million barrels against analysts' expectations for a 120,000-barrel increase. The API report was delayed by a day due to Monday's Martin Luther King Day public holiday in the United States. The government's Energy Information Administration will release its weekly inventory report on Thursday. With aggressive rate hikes still on the cards, the U.S. dollar climbed, weighing on oil demand as a stronger greenback makes the commodity more expensive for those holding other currencies.

By Sonali Paul and Trixie Sher Li Yap SINGAPORE (Reuters) -Oil prices fell on Wednesday as an unexpected build in crude and fuel inventories in the United States, the world's biggest oil consumer, and economic uncertainty reignited demand worries. U.S. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude futures slipped by 54 cents, or 0.72%, to $74.58 a barrel at 0700 GMT, while Brent crude futures fell by 50 cents, or 0.62%, to $79.60. Both contracts rose on Monday and Tuesday, rebounding from a sharp selloff in the first week of 2023. U.S. crude oil stockpiles jumped by 14.9 million barrels in the week ended Jan. 6, sources said, citing data from the American Petroleum Institute (API). At the same time, distillate stocks, which include heating oil and jet fuel, rose by about 1.1 million barrels. Analysts polled by Reuters had expected crude stocks to fall by 2.2 million barrels and distillate stocks to drop by 500,000 barrels. The large increase in U.S. inventories in the API estimates has dragged down oil prices, while the risk of recession is also capping the oil price uptrend in the short run, said analyst Leon Li at CMC Markets. Traders will be looking out for inventory data from the U.S. Energy Information Administration due later on Wednesday to see if it matches the preliminary view from API. [EIA/S] The oil market has been pulled lower by worries that sharply higher interest rate hikes to tame inflation would trigger a recession and curtail fuel demand. The prevailing market sentiment is bearish on the demand side, with China still dealing with a widespread COVID-19 outbreak and the U.S. and Europe at risk of economic slowdowns, with supply disruptions minimal for the time being, Claudio Galimberti, a senior vice president at Rystad Energy, said by email. The market structure for futures reflects that weakness with both the front-month Brent and WTI contracts remaining in contango, where prompt month prices are trading lower than forward month prices, typically a sign that there is less short-term demand for oil. Prices gained earlier this week on hopes for fuel demand growth in China, the world's second-largest oil consumer, after it eased its COVID-19 curbs and allowed the resumption of international travel. "Monday's news that China had issued a fresh batch of import quotas suggests the world's large importer is ramping up to meet higher demand," ANZ Research analysts said in a note. The big focus this week is on U.S. inflation data, due on Thursday. If inflation comes in below expectations that would drive the dollar down, analysts said. A weaker dollar can boost oil demand as it makes the commodity cheaper for buyers holding other currencies.

NEWS | 12/1/2022 3:02:30 PM GMT | By FXStreet Insights Team Economists at the Bank of America Global Research expect the US Dollar to remain on a solid foot at the beginning of 2023 but to drift lower as the year unfolds. Positive USD forces remain, but will fade gradually “For now, the forces that have supported the USD this year remain valid, despite the recent correction lower.” “In our baseline, the USD remains strong early next year and starts a more sustained downward path after the Fed pauses.” “We forecast EUR/USD at parity and USD/JPY at 146 by 1Q23. However, in our baseline the USD gradually weakens starting in Q2, to 1.10 for EUR/USD and to 135 for USD/JPY by end-2023, with our EUR/USD forecast above the consensus.”

By Rowena Edwards LONDON (Reuters) -Oil prices rose by over $2 on Wednesday on signs of tighter supply, a weaker dollar and optimism over a Chinese demand recovery. But the likelihood that OPEC+ will leave output unchanged at its upcoming meeting limited the gains. Brent crude futures rose $2.22, or 2.67% to $85.25 per barrel by 1340 GMT. The more active February Brent crude contract rose by 3.35% to $87.07. U.S. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude futures climbed $2.68, or 3.43%, to $80.88. Support followed expectations of tighter crude supply. U.S. crude oil stocks dropped by 7.9 million barrels in the week ended Nov. 25, according to market sources citing American Petroleum Institute figures on Tuesday. [API/S] Official figures are due from the U.S Energy Information Administration on Wednesday. [EIA/S] And the International Energy Agency expects Russian crude production to be curtailed by some 2 million barrels of oil per day by the end of the first quarter next year, its chief Fatih Birol told Reuters on Tuesday. Russia would not supply oil to countries imposing a price cap, Russia's foreign ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said. On the demand side, further support came from optimism over a demand recovery in China, the world's largest crude buyer. China reported fewer COVID-19 infections than on Tuesday, while the market speculated that weekend protests could prompt an easing in travel restrictions. Guangzhou, a southern city, relaxed COVID prevention rules in several districts on Wednesday. A fall in the U.S. dollar was also bearish for prices. A weaker greenback makes dollar-denominated oil contracts cheaper for holders of other currencies, and boosts demand. Fed Chair Jerome Powell is scheduled to speak about the economy and labour market on Wednesday, with investors looking for clues about when the Fed will slow the pace of its aggressive interest rate hikes. Capping gains, the OPEC+ decision to hold its Dec. 4 meeting virtually signals little likelihood of a policy change, a source with direct knowledge of the matter told Reuters on Wednesday. "Market fundamentals favour another cut, especially given the uncertainty over China's COVID situation ... Failure to do so risks sparking another selling frenzy," said Stephen Brennock of oil broker PVM.
