Oil prices surged in American trade for the eighth session in a row, scaling a ten-month high, with Brent trading above $95 a barrel for the first time this year.

 

Markets are still focused on the prospects of extreme shortages the markets will undergo this year as Saudi Arabia and Russia extend their voluntary production cuts.

The International Energy Agency said the decision by Saudi Arabia and Russia to cut crude output by 1.3 million bpd until the end of the year will cause shortages in the fourth quarter of the year.

 

Bank of America analysts believe such cuts will send Brent prices above $100 by the end of the year.

 

Conversely, OPEC maintained its optimistic outlook for demand growth worldwide this year and next year,while also expecting flexible global economic growth despite higher interest rates.

 

US Stocks

 

Later today, the American Petroleum Institute will release initial data on US crude stocks, expected to show a buildup for the second week in a row.
