REUTERS/Ahmed Jadallah/File Photo Acquire Licensing RightsCompanies Saudi Arabian Oil Co FollowLONDON, Sept 29 (Reuters) - Oil prices rose on Friday and were headed for a gain of about 3% for the week, driven by tight U.S. supply and expectations of strong fuel demand in China during the Golden Week holiday. China's fuel demand was set to firm as the week-long Golden Week holiday began on Friday. "(An) increase in international travel during the Golden Week holiday is boosting Chinese oil demand," ANZ analysts said in a client note. Saudi Arabia and Russia's supply cuts will dominate oil prices for the remainder of this year, but a run towards $100 per barrel could be capped by macroeconomic headwinds, analysts said.

Oil prices fall as Russia, Saudi Arabia expected to boost supply

Oil prices fell in early trade on Friday after a recent rally, as profit-taking and expectations of supply increases by Russia and Saudi Arabia outweighed forecasts of positive demand from China during its Golden Week holiday. Oil prices had eased about 1% on Thursday, as traders took profits after prices soared to 10-month highs, and some worried that high interest rates may weigh on oil demand. "Oil prices recent rally paused overnight," National Australia Bank said in a note. Russia has not discussed a possible crude oil supply increase to compensate for Moscow's fuel exports ban with OPEC+, the Kremlin has said. "(An) increase in international travel during the Golden Week holiday is boosting Chinese oil demand," ANZ Research said in a note.

Oil prices surging to the brink of $100 per barrel and the specter of higher for longer inflation have renewed concern about stagflation risks, however. Kashkari reaffirmed this message when speaking to CNBC on Wednesday, saying that he was not sure if interest rates have been raised enough to successfully fight price growth. Market participants are worried that surging oil prices could keep inflation higher for longer, amplifying the risk of stagflation. "The price pressure reflects a shortage of supply, after OPEC+ cut production targets, under the leadership of Saudi Arabia and Russia. This must be seen in the context of a moving geopolitical environment, with Saudi Arabia recently joining the BRICS group," they added.

Russia and Saudi Arabia have made billions in additional oil revenue after their production cuts lifted prices. Meanwhile, Saudi Arabia has likely pulled in about $2.6 billion in extra revenue. AdvertisementAdvertisementRussia and Saudi Arabia have likely pulled billions in additional oil revenue after steep oil production cuts lifted crude prices. Then, Saudi Arabia and Russia implemented their own voluntary production cuts this summer, with Saudi Arabia slashing production by 1 million barrels a day while Russia slashed production by half a million barrels a day. Analysts have said crude prices could quickly be on track to notch $100 a barrel next year, thanks to underinvestment and chronic undersupply in the industry.

REUTERS/Ahmed Jadallah/File Photo Acquire Licensing RightsSept 29 (Reuters) - Oil prices settled 1% lower on Friday due to macroeconomic concerns and profit taking, but rose about 30% in the quarter as OPEC+ production cuts squeezed global crude supply. U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude (WTI) settled down 92 cents to $90.97, up 1% in the week and 29% in the quarter. While the total rig count fell by 51 in the third quarter, the cuts have slowed compared with a reduction of 81 in the second quarter as oil prices have rebounded due to tightening supplies. The supply cuts announced by Saudi Arabia and Russia are expected to dominate oil prices for the remainder of this year.

Oil prices could tread as high as $100 a barrel in 2024, Goldman Sachs' Jeff Currie said. AdvertisementAdvertisementOil prices are heading into the triple-digits next year, as a supercycle lifts the commodities sector, according to Goldman Sachs' outgoing commodities chief Jeff Currie. That's largely because of a supply-demand imbalance in the oil market, which is likely to worsen over the next year and push prices higher, Currie said. Currie, who has warned of triple-digit oil prices since late 2022, said there's increased demand for crude, noting that last week saw prices near $100. That's because higher prices at the gas pump could translate into weaker consumer sentiment, which could hit spending, corporate profits, and eventually, economic growth.

CNBC's Jim Cramer on Thursday suggested the stock market could be headed for a rally, citing a downturn in the price of oil. West Texas Intermediate , one of the three main benchmarks in oil pricing, declined more than 2%, and by Thursday's close, the major indexes saw gains. Cramer highlighted Wednesday's "intraday pivot," as a reason for optimism about a potential rally. On Wednesday, the major indexes started the day worse off but were able to come back by the end of the session, cutting their losses. To Cramer, a calendar shift can also have an effect, as September is usually a poor month for the market.

Asia-Pacific stock benchmarks sagged along with gold, while crude oil continued to drift back from 10-month highs. Westpac strategists see risks skewed toward even higher yields in the near term, pulling up the dollar as well.

The European Central Bank and Bank of England have also touted higher rates for longer in policy meetings since the middle of the month. Crude oil remained weak amid concerns that fuel demand will be crimped by major central banks holding interest rates higher for longer, even with supply expected to be tight.

New York CNN —Stocks tumbled Tuesday after a slew of economic data stoked fears about the US economy’s cloudy outlook and further interest rate hikes from the Federal Reserve. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 388 points, or 1.1%, its biggest one-day decline since March. The stock market remains in a bull market, however — it would need to fall 20% from its peak to enter bear territory. “The Fed will see the reacceleration of house prices as a reason to keep interest rates higher for longer,” said Bill Adams, chief economist at Comerica Bank. JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon said Tuesday in an interview with the Times of India that he is preparing the bank’s clients for a 7% interest rate scenario, further spooking investors.

Oil prices slipped in early trade on Tuesday amid concerns that fuel demand will be crimped by major central banks holding interest rates higher for longer, even with supply expected to be tight. The world's top economic policy makers, the U.S. Federal Reserve and the European Central Bank, have over the recent days reiterated their commitment to fight inflation, signalling tight policy may persist longer than previously anticipated. With China's Golden Week holiday starting from Sunday, oil prices could gain support from a pick-up in travel and resulting oil product demand from the world's second biggest oil consumer. We expect oil to trade above $90 per barrel during the week," ANZ Research said in a note. Oil prices have risen by around 30% since mid-year driven mostly by tighter supply, wiping off 0.5 percentage points from the global GDP growth in the second half of this year, according to JP Morgan.
