OIL PRICES STAY BELOW $100 AMID DEMAND CONCERNS ABOUT SLOWING ECONOMIC GROWTH


FOCUS IS NOW ON THIS WEEK'S OPEC+ MEETING, WITH PRODUCERS SET TO DECIDE ON
OUTPUT INCREASE

Oil prices continued to slump on Tuesday, remaining below the $100 mark on
demand concerns amid signs of slowing economic growth worldwide before the start
of the Opec+ meeting this week.

Brent, the global benchmark for two thirds of the world's oil, was trading 0.74
per cent lower at $99.29 a barrel at 9.08am UAE time. West Texas Intermediate,
the gauge that tracks US crude, was down 0.61 per cent at $93.32 a barrel.

On Monday, Brent touched $99.09 a barrel, its lowest since July 15 while WTI
dropped to $92.42 a barrel, its weakest in two weeks, on weak manufacturing data
from China, the world’s largest importer of oil.

Prices fell as recessionary fears continue to weigh on the market after growth
slowed in many parts of the world, including in China, as Covid-19 pandemic
related restrictions stemmed output in the country.

A Flourish map

“Oil prices plummeted on the start of a new trading month, with October Brent
down about 4 per cent to $100.03 per barrel and pushing lower in trade today,”
said Edward Bell, senior director of market economics at Emirates NBD.



“The Opec+ meeting tomorrow will be the focus for oil markets and whether the
producers’ alliance will respond to requests for higher oil output.”

The super group of oil producers, which includes Russia, will meet online on
Wednesday to decide on its output policy for September and beyond after
unwinding record output cuts put in place during the pandemic.

“Since the start of the Opec+ deal, oil prices have rallied more than 330 per
cent, from $25 per barrel for Brent futures at the end of April 2020 to $110 per
barrel at the end of July 2022,” Mr Bell said.

“A disciplined approach to adding barrels back to the market, along with a
recovery in demand and draining of inventories, have all helped to establish a
solid fundamental floor for high oil prices.”

But a “hazy” demand outlook, given slowing global economic growth as monetary
policies tighten to curb the sharp rise in inflation, and supply constraints
caused by Russia's continuing military offensive in Ukraine, have meant the
market remains subject to volatility.



“An agreement on higher oil output for September onward still seems likely as an
outcome at the meeting this week. But in order for Opec+ to preserve its
integrity — and there has been no public statement from ministers that suggests
it is in doubt — any agreement on higher production would have to include all
members, even if the target levels are essentially notional,” Mr Bell said.

However, the market's fundamentals remain tilted in favour of higher prices.

“Our expectation that oil prices have entered a new era of relative scarcity
remains unchanged and oil market fundamentals will support prices at higher
levels than we have seen in the last few years,” he said.

“The improvement in oil prices since the peak of the pandemic should help to
keep Opec+ ministers committed to the effectiveness of the alliance and, for
now, we see no change coming for [the alliance].”
