OPEC in its fight to keep prices rising is planning to maintain the current oil cut beyond June, Reuters reported last week

“The ministers want to keep the same oil production cuts now which are about 10 million bpd, after June. They don’t want to reduce the size of the cuts. This is the basic scenario that’s being discussed now,” one OPEC+ source told Reuters.

Saudi Arabia equally made a surprise announcement on Monday that it will voluntarily deepen oil supply cuts from June by 1 million barrels per day, saying it wants to expedite draining a global supply glut and rebalancing the oil market.

Gulf OPEC producers the United Arab Emirates and Kuwait have joined Saudi Arabia and pledged fresh cuts for their June output by a combined 180,000 bpd

These pronouncement along with the easing of lockdowns in some countries have created positive effect rise of fuel demand, and are expected to ease pressure on crude storage capacity and shore up prices.
