WTI Crude Rallies on OPEC Output Cuts
West Texas Intermediate (WTI) Crude closed at US$51.28/bbl yesterday, one of the highest levels seen in the year-to-date. Oil prices have rallied 16.4% in the past month and are now almost double that seen in mid-February this year. The recent momentum in crude was mainly due to the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries’ (OPEC) decision to cut production from January 2017 by around 1.2 million barrels per day (bpd) to 32.5m bpd. OPEC has also invited non-OPEC oil producers for a meeting on December 10, where details of the coordinated production cuts will be finalised. Over the past month, the SGX Maritime & Offshore (MOE) Index has gained 12.5% in tandem with crude’s rally (and outperforming the STI’s 5.6% rise), implying a rebound of 15.5% off the lows of 299.56 set in early September this year.
