OPEC obviously has to accommodate Iraq's increased production
Later this year, OPEC will have to think about whether they are comfortable with higher prices. We expect continued draw downs in inventories and rising prices assuming the global economic recovery continues.
OPEC has obviously been quite happy with the current price range
Practically every minister has been on record saying that OPEC will be keeping quotas where they are, while the cartel's members -- with the exception of the Saudis and a few other Gulf countries -- are producing as much oil as they can despite restrictions, dragging overall compliance to between 53%-60...
As for OPEC, expectations that it will leave production targets unchanged are now well factored in prices, so the market will place focus more on the weekly U.S. inventory report instead
The broad consensus is that OPEC will leave production rates unchanged, and I can’t see any reason why they wouldn’t
Fundamentals (of supply and demand) will be back in focus again also as OPEC meets tomorrow in Vienna where we expect the exporting group to leave output policy as is
Although OPEC is prone to pulling surprises, few would bet against a rollover
The OPEC decision is baked in the cake.
I think we should keep things as they are, to roll over, because the demand hasn't really increased to a point that OPEC should reconsider its previous decisions
OPEC should not take any decision to change production
It is expected the OPEC production remains unchanged in the coming gathering, because evidence shows that the market situation has not changed considerably
It is better for OPEC countries to maintain the current output ceiling unchanged.
OPEC does not need to change its output levels
Although oil companies have been cushioned from the recession by OPEC's action on quotas and oil prices, Shell has been disadvantaged recently, due to our higher exposure to refining

Angola transmitted the presidency of OPEC to Ecuador with the sentiment of having accomplished its mission of producing country
OPEC will have to show its mettle
Macroeconomic data is relatively scarce this week and we expect renewed focus on fundamentals (of supply and demand), also with OPEC's scheduled meeting on Wednesday
Crude oil prices fell... due to a strengthening US dollar, while investors remain cautious ahead of a busy week in economic figures and the OPEC meeting in Vienna

Crude oil prices fell... due to a strengthening US dollar, while investors remain cautious ahead of a busy week in economic figures and the OPEC meeting in Vienna
The OPEC members will get away with as much as they can as long as the financial players are boosting prices through speculation
Highly compliant Gulf producers will call for quota discipline, but it will not be a pressing issue at OPEC's next meeting since oil price is high, demand is rising and outlook is positive
If you take the average forecast for OPEC demand, you're looking at 29.2 million bpd, which is in line with production. That's an indication that things will be the same until the end of the year
In fact it’s part of the bullish story, because non-OPEC supply has already hit a plateau so only OPEC can meet long-term global demand growth.
If the OPEC rig count is increasing, and OPEC has plans to grow capacity down the road, that doesn’t strike me as bearish
Despite OPEC’s production capacity goals being very aggressive, I think a large part of it will be sustainable ... The chances for spare capacity increasing are larger than it narrowing. This potentially puts a ceiling on oil prices. Even if demand increases strongly, price increases should be dampened.
The idea of Islamic Republic of Iran is not to increase production and OPEC should not take any decision to change production
This means that OPEC has de facto already increased its production
OPEC will ask its members to comply with their quotas until the economic crisis is over.
At the next OPEC meeting, changes in policy will not be necessary
